With over 40 years of business history, we have continuously built up extensive experience and in-depth expertise across many key industries and technologies. Whether you’re a sales representative, a cable specialist, or a branch manager—at HELU, you’ll always find the right contact.
Our mission is to deliver power and communication to your destination reliably and without interruption at all times, under all conditions—whether routine or challenging. In addition, more than 2,500 employees across 76 locations in 43 countries are dedicated to providing the best possible service. Our goal is to provide exactly the cable solution you need so you don’t have to waste time searching for it.
Since the quality of a cable can only be as good as the people who design and develop it, HELU has a highly skilled team ready to tackle the most demanding challenges you face every day.
To ensure there are no complaints about their performance in demanding everyday use, we develop all new products at our Research & Development center in Windsbach, near Nuremberg. This is where every component of the cable is tested.
