Customized Cables and Wires

according to customer requirements

The applications and functions of electrical cables are as diverse as the design of the cables themselves must be. That is why we are committed to developing and manufacturing a custom cable tailored to each customer’s specific needs for every application.

We demonstrate our strength every year by developing and manufacturing more than 1,500 custom designs for a wide variety of industrial applications. This results in tailor-made cable and wire solutions that are precisely tailored to our customers’ requirements.

As diverse as the applications and functions of electrical cables are, the construction of the cables must be just as individual. That is why we aim to develop and produce a customized cable for every customer and every application.

In many cases, we design and manufacture special cables starting from 300 m, and for certain cable cross-sections even from 100 m. You can rely on our more than 75 years of experience in cable and wire production, as our technical team will select the best combination of the various cable parameters for you and develop an individual cable for your application.
