Our history is dotted with milestones rooted in innovations that have greatly influenced the electrical industry and, in many ways, revolutionized its development. What began with the design of the first small, oil-immersed contactor at the beginning of this century remains valid today with a whole new generation of products. Some of the most notable technological achievements in the company's history are:

  • 1899: Manually operated starter for DC generators with enhanced safety features.

  • 1910's: Development of the first, three phase, oil-immersed contactor in Europe.

  • 1920's: First to develop and use insulating material enclosures for industrial control.

  • Recognition as leader in manufacturing and calibration technology used in the production of bimetallic overload relays.

  • 1930's: Introduction of the revolutionary concept "lifespan of electrical switching devices to equal the lifespan of the connected equipment", which led to the creation of IEC application categories.

  • Development of the world's first manual motor protector, type PKZM.

  • 1940's: Development of Androit insulating material for motor control enclosures.

  • 1950's: Contactors with four-way interruption.

  • The first totally insulated ID distribution and industrial control system.

  • 1960's: Introduction of the world's first fuseless, current-limiting, high interrupting circuit breakers, type NZMH.

  • 1980's: Introduction of the world's first compact, high performance, micro-programmable controllers, type PS 3.

  • Introduction of the first, self-protected combination motor controller, type PKZ 2-.../-SP, listed under the new category UL 508E and certified as a new class of device by CSA.

  • 1990's: Recipient of ISO 9001 certification, the first among the companies in the German electrical industry.

  • Development of ARCON arcfault protection systems that extinguishes destructive arc faults in power distribution systems, in speeds previously unachievable.

  • Introduction of Easy, a new generation compact, multifunction relay.
