SBF AG expects positive market signals from KRITIS umbrella act for critical infrastructure protection

Leipzig, 12 March 2026 – SBF AG (ISIN: DE000A2AAE22; WKN: A2AAE2, “SBF” for short), a publicly traded company specializing in innovative solutions in the fields of rolling stock, lighting, electromechanics, and sensor technology, provides safety-related solutions that meet the requirements of critical infrastructure operators, which are further specified by the KRITIS umbrella law. The law recently passed by the Federal Council and Bundestag broadens the protection of security-relevant infrastructure with an “all-hazards approach.” The transport and traffic sectors are explicitly included in the scope of application. This opens up additional market opportunities for SBF, as operators of critical infrastructures are expected to further expand their resilience requirements in the future and prioritize corresponding investments.

“The new legislation focuses more strongly on the importance of critical infrastructure for Germany. This is accompanied by binding resilience requirements for companies. Modern security solutions are becoming even more important. With our products covering areas such as sensor technology, lighting, and energy efficiency, we are ideally positioned to offer market participants tailor-made solutions and support them in meeting the requirements,” explains Robert Stöcklinger, CEO of SBF AG.

Among other things, the KRITIS umbrella law states that operators of critical facilities must carry out regular risk analyses and risk assessments and draw up resilience plans with structural, technical, and organizational measures. In addition, security-related incidents must be recorded and reported.

This opens up interesting market prospects for SBF. In rolling stock, the lighting and interior systems installed are part of the safety-relevant infrastructure. Among other things, SBF offers redundant, fail-safe safety and escape route lighting. Individual sensors ensure condition monitoring and remote diagnosis for rapid risk detection. Standardized and audit-proof documentation of data is a central component of the resilience plan. In addition, SBF offers suitable solutions for energy efficiency and emergency power capability for longer self-sufficiency.
