The story
The company was founded in 1927 by Erich Kieback and Paul Peter to produce automatic controllers for high-temperature furnaces. Increasingly, the acquired knowledge was applied to residential and commercial buildings. In this course, room thermostats, actuators and outdoor and supply temperature sensors were produced. Starting in the 1980s, the company increasingly developed digital control systems, followed in the following decade by the multi-circuit control processor (MRP). The focus was already on simple and intuitive operation and increased comfort. Among the best-known buildings that have been equipped with technologies from Kieback&Peter are the Reichstag building, the Cube Berlin, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Kieback&Peter acquired a majority stake in ICM-Technologies GmbH (ICM-T) at the beginning of 2025, which expanded its offering in the field of meter technology for building management.
In December 2025, it was announced Trane Technologies, the American-Irish domiciled company specialising in heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and refrigeration systems had acquired a minority stake in Kieback&Peter.
