We Are HELUKABEL – Quality Connects

As a hidden champion and medium-sized family business, the HELUKABEL brand stands for quality, reliability and innovation. Below we would like to introduce you to the HELUKABEL Group in more detail.

With a company history of over 45 years, we’ve steadily acquired a broad spectrum of expertise and in-depth knowledge in many industries and key technologies. Regardless of whether you’re a sales representative, cable designer or a business manager, at HELUKABEL you’ll always find the right contact partner.

At HELUKABEL, we've made it our mission to bring energy and communication to our customer’s destinations reliably and consistently at all times and under all conditions. Over 2,500 employees located at 69 sites across 40 countries spare no effort in doing so. We see it as our challenge to find the right cable solution for you every day, giving you the time to concentrate on more important things than cables and wires.

A cable is only as good as the minds that ask the right questions before it is made. We have a lot of bright minds at HELUKABEL who spend every day searching for intelligent answers.

And to make sure there are no issues during use, all new products developed undergo rigorous testing at our R&D centre in Windsbach, near Nuremberg. Here we bend, pull, grind and ignite the cable for all it's worth.
