10. January 2022 | Press release

SAUTER acquires Scottish plant engineering and FM service provider Emtec Group Ltd.

Growth strategy continues.

After SAUTER already acquired the Irish building automation specialist SIRUS, the British building management service provider Wren Environmental Limited and, most recently, the Italian facility management service provider Techne S.p.A. in 2020, the Group remains true to its growth strategy in 2021 and expands its business shortly before the end of the year by acquiring a majority shareholding in the Scottish Emtec Group Ltd.

Founded in 2003, the Emtec Group specialises in plant engineering and technical facility management.

The largest companies in the group are Emtec Building Services and Emtec Facility Services. The company’s headquarters are near Glasgow, Scotland. Emtec also has eight offices spread across Scotland and northern England. With more than 550 employees, the company generates approximately €71.5 million in revenue.

Scott Stevenson, one of the founders and shareholders of the Emtec Group, will continue to manage the business of the new SAUTER subsidiary as Managing Director.

“The acquisition of Emtec Group Ltd. is a perfect addition to our existing presence throughout Europe and will position us even better to meet the current and future needs of the global market and our customers,” explains Werner Ottilinger, Managing Director of Sauter FM GmbH.

SAUTER Head Office was the target of a cyber security incident on November 20, 2024. SAUTER’s IT department immediately activated, well defined, internal emergency plans. All IT systems were completely isolated and shut down to successfully prevent the attack from spreading. External cybersecurity experts and data forensics specialists then began to check all systems and restore them securely. This process is unfortunately time-consuming, but absolutely necessary to ensure that the cyber-attack does not continue at a later date.


The SAUTER websites have been affected by the emergency operation and are available again with immediate effect.


There are currently no concrete indications that our customers' infrastructures have been compromised in any way by SAUTER devices. It appears to be an opportunistic incident with no clearly recognisable long-term goals or systematic attacks. The situation does not currently suggest that there is a targeted, sustained threat to the affected systems.
