About Wygwam
Wygwam and Niko are both part of the same family group, with over a century of innovation behind us. While Niko continues its legacy in electrical solutions, Wygwam focuses entirely on building automation, sensing, and smart living for the future.
Our story
For over 100 years, the Niko Group has shaped how people interact with buildings. As technology accelerated, it became clear that automation, sensors, data, and cloud-driven solutions needed dedicated focus. That's why Wygwam was founded — an independent company headquartered in Antwerp, uniting expertise from Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Singapore, and beyond.
We carry forward the reliability Niko is known for while moving fast into intelligent, human-centric building technology.
Built to shape the future of smart buildings
Wygwam brings together the group's most dynamic offerings: building automation systems, premium smart living through MOTIV, scalable everyday control with Niko Home Control, and advanced detection via Niko Sensing.
As the market shifts from hardware to software, from one-time sales to cloud services, we're built to move quickly, innovate boldly, and lead internationally. Our teams across EMEA create future-proof solutions that elevate comfort, efficiency, and security in every space.
Leadership driven by experience
CEO Koen Pepermans guides our journey with decades of experience in home automation, system integration, and IoT. Koen founded his own company in 1989 focused on system integration and home automation, which grew into Vantage Controls after a merger. In 2006, he sold the company to Legrand SA, where he led global strategic marketing until 2017. Since then, he's advised companies on cloud-based automation and IoT, bringing deep industry insight to Wygwam's vision for the future.

Our people
Everything we build starts with the people who imagine, design, and refine it. Our teams span Belgium, Denmark, Singapore, and across Europe — engineers, developers, product thinkers, market experts, designers, and support champions all working toward one goal: creating smarter, more intuitive environments.
We value collaboration over hierarchy, curiosity over certainty, and real impact over complexity. By blending diverse expertise, we turn technology into solutions that improve how people live and work.
Driven by curiosity and craftsmanship
Innovation doesn't happen by accident. At Wygwam, curiosity is built in. Our teams experiment, prototype, test, and refine until complex technology feels effortless. We combine deep engineering with a craftsman's mindset — precision meets creativity.
Because smart buildings evolve fast, we invest heavily in continuous learning: AI, cloud tech, new sensing and control solutions. We stay ahead so we can push the industry forward.
One team, one mission
Whether prototyping hardware, refining code, supporting installers, or exploring new markets — we work as one team with one mission: create smarter, safer, more sustainable spaces for people to live and work.
As we grow, we're always looking for people who want to shape the future of smart buildings with us. If curiosity, collaboration, and making buildings smarter drives you — you might be exactly who we're looking for.
