The art of the perfect cable
We develop optimal cable solutions for our customers. The challenges facing modern cables and wires are multifaceted: moving applications with more than ten million cycles, severe mechanical and chemical loads, complicated bend radii and space-saving hybrid solutions. For each, HELU has answers to help you. To ensure flawless performance, all newly developed products undergo rigorous testing at our R&D center in Windsbach near Nuremberg. Here we bend, pull, crush and ignite the cable for all it's worth. Our special aging ovens are time machines that simulate the life cycle of a cable and much more. Testing is performed in accordance with national and international standards, which means that quality is confirmed and guaranteed.
