Research & Development | We develop optimal, tailored cable solutions for our customers

Research and development are the foundation of our work and are an important engine for growth. In interdisciplinary teams we continuously push the boundaries to enhance our products and develop solutions to meet the latest technological demands. Moreover, we value our customer interactions and partnerships with regional colleges and research institutes to stay on top of emerging technologies.

The materials that we use are an important starting point of our work. In this regard, we place as much emphasis on searching for and utilizing new materials, as we do on manufacturing our plastic mixtures (granulates) ourselves, and influencing the improvement of technical characteristics, such as oil-resistance, temperature range or chemical compatibility. Moreover, we are capable of pulling a majority of the copper ourselves, thus ensuring a uniform, high-quality product relative to properties and workmanship.
With continuous optimization of our manu­­facturing processes and systems we take into consideration both efficient and economical production, and the complex requirements of various applications (such as cables for industrial robots or for applications under cleanroom conditions) into account.

A crucial stage in the development process of our products is the work done at our Test Center. For example, cables suitable for drag chain implementation, can be tested using equipment that accelerates cables up to 10 g. Temperature ranges from -50° to +250° are simulated in a special climate-controlled environment so that drag chain cables can be tested for series production readiness in applications such as refrigerated warehouses or steel mills.

Production | We specialize in the production of high-quality cables and wires

Using the latest production methods, our two German plants manufacture approximately one million kilometers of conductors each year (= 77 times around the world). More than 300 qualified employees are specialized in the production of high-quality standard and custom cables. Through the use of the latest materials and collaboration with international test institutes, we drive innovation in the areas of automation, data technology, building system technology, and renewable energy. Since 2014, in a 7,000 m² facility in the Chinese city of Taicang (approx. 50 km northwest of Shanghai) HELUKABEL® has been producing cable and wires, primarily for the Asian market. As is with our German plants, the focus is on high-quality, flexible and highly-flexible cables and wires that are manufactured in accordance with Chinese and international standards. The use of flexible manufacturing cells enable short delivery times.

Logistics | Redefining logistics in the cable industry

At its corporate headquarters in the Swabian town of Hemmingen/Stuttgart, HELUKABEL® operates Europe's largest distribution center for cables and wires. Here a majority of the more than 33,000 products are located in a storage area of 160,000 m². Through the use of state-of-the-art conveyor and control
technology, more than 1,000 orders can be picked and dispatched daily to destinations around the world.

Neuenhagen/Berlin is the central warehouse location for underground, medium-voltage, and other infrastructure cables. Storage capacities of more than 5,000 m² (indoor) and 50,000 m² (outdoor) enable fast delivery of cable, configured from 1 – 30 kV, to construction sites and major projects. The patented heavy-load cable-cutting machines with a load capacity of more than 10 tons are the largest of their kind in Germany.

The new logistics center at the Taicang (Shanghai, China) production facility serves as a product distribution hub for the Asian market, and offers incredible advantages, particularly for servicing time- and volume-critical customer projects.
