Thanks to the benefits of a medium-sized company, we have the flexibility to satisfy our customers’ individual requirements worldwide. We develop customer-specific solutions quickly and to the highest standards.

Holistic project management, starting with the planning, development and manufacture, right up to the installation, commissioning and maintenance of switchgear and controlgear, has proven itself over decades and has meanwhile become our trademark. Our team includes high-performance engineers and trained specialists who work in accordance with national and international standards. 

These criteria ensure that the highest safety standards for persons and companies are taken into account. Every switchgear and controlgear that leaves our hall bears the “Engineered in Germany” mark of quality.

Overview of our products

Medium-voltage switchgear

In the past, medium-voltage switchgear and controlgear for distribution networks were already exposed to high loads at the primary level. Now, these are becoming even more important due to the expansion of renewable energies. We know this discipline like the back of our hand and plan and develop customised solutions for challenging requirements. Our systems incorporate know-how gained over decades, which we use to ensure optimum power supply, availability and safety.

Our type-tested systems comply with the IEC 62271-200 standards. In addition, some of our systems undergo special tests. For our customers from the industry and energy supply sectors, this offers special protection, which ensures increased safety. This service is supported by our comprehensive range of services from planning, design, development and production, right up to assembly, commissioning and maintenance.

Our single busbar and duplex systems come in a modular design. This way, they can be equipped with different slide-in technologies or fixed installation technology, depending on the type of system. During production, we pay attention to the environmental aspect and refrain from using substances that are harmful to the climate, such as SF6 or other mixed gases.

Low-voltage switchgear

The increased requirements for personal and operator safety are important factors that need to be taken into account when using switchgear. Simultaneously, the demand for system availability is increasing. To satisfy these demands, our switchgear and controlgear is manufactured according to IEC 61439 guidelines and subjected to passive and active arc fault testing.

Like all our products, our low-voltage switchgear and controlgear stands for the highest quality and safety. We cater to customer-specific requirements and pay attention to our customers’ individual needs. With our team of electrical engineers and specialist personnel, we can realise special solutions quickly and effortlessly.

Our systems are design verified according to IEC 61439.
