May as an Engineering Partner

Our customers benefit from high technical expertise, short coordination paths, and flexible implementation. Together, we realize solutions that fit directly into your processes – from housing processing to ready-to-connect delivery.

System Understanding Instead of Individual Components

What would an electronic system be without suitable connectors, thoughtful cable routing, and the right enclosure configuration?
We not only support you in selecting suitable components, but we also advise you on the optimal combination of connector system, assembly concept, and protective enclosure – including environmental requirements such as protection class, outdoor/indoor use, and EMC requirements.

Our portfolio also includes connector systems that combine power, signals, data, and even compressed air in one connection. This saves space, reduces installation effort, and lowers system costs.

Typical Areas of Application

Our customized solutions are used in the following areas, among others:

Mechanical and plant engineering, automation technology, measurement, control and regulation technology, as well as data and network technology.
We also implement tailored system solutions for special applications such as railway technology or industrial enclosures for outdoor use – precise and ready to connect.
