[ Our role ]
We work in the background as your technology and manufacturing partner. You stay in control of your brand, customer relationships and business model — while we take care of the engineering, development and production.
We turn your requirements into products engineered for real-world use. From system architecture and prototyping to testing and validation, we support the entire development process. Every solution is tailored to your technical specifications, market needs and brand.
Placeholder: describe how Udenco produces and assembles your product in Europe — from sourcing and production to quality control and testing at end of line.
Placeholder: describe certification, documentation and after-sales support — everything your brand needs to sell, install and service the product with confidence.

[ Our team ]
Sven Wagner leads Udenco as CEO. Electrification and mobility run through his entire career. At Bombardier and Škoda Transportation, he was responsible for bid and project business in rail and bus. At Kiepe Electric, he headed e-mobility for trolleybuses and e-buses. As CEO of REFU Drive, he drove the electrification of special-purpose vehicles in agriculture, ports, construction and public transport. Since late 2024, he has brought this experience to Udenco – where electric vehicles meet the right charging infrastructure.
Rob van den Acker founded Udenco in 2004. From the start, his approach was to offer customers a flexible and reliable production chain that lets them manage volume, speed and cost more effectively. For more than 20 years he led the company as CEO, developing it from a contract manufacturer into a specialist in EV charging technology. As CTO, he is now responsible for the technical development of the portfolio – the foundation for the White Label, Private Label and Build to Print models that allow partners to bring their own charging solutions to market.
Nick Kohler leads sales and strategic business development at Udenco. He builds partnerships, opens up new application segments and develops the White Label, Private Label and Build to Print business models further. He laid the groundwork for this at the PRETTL Group, where, as executive assistant to the management board, he developed new business models and supported M&A projects from valuation to integration. At REFU Drive, he then gained insight into the electrification of special-purpose vehicles in agriculture, ports, construction and public transport – the very markets for which Udenco supplies charging solutions today.
