CONNECTORS
Günter Blase began igus® back on 15th October 1964 in a double garage in Cologne. For the first 20 years, the company worked as a supplier of complex technical polymer components.
However, in 1983 Frank Blase established reinforced plastic Energy Chains Systems® and injection moulded polymer bearings as two distinct product groups and set up a network of sales engineers. These seemingly unrelated products are linked together through the belief in making functionally advanced, yet affordable polymer components and assemblies.
Igus produces a wide range of connectors
igus® offers its customers a variety of entry options. With the offer of freely assemblable plug connections, the product range is now even more exhaustive. The stock accumulated by the igus® assembling operations provides a high material availability. Trained specialists provide consistent consultation. The distinct sales and distribution network worldwide enables the supply of these plug connectors in almost every corner of this earth. There are 25 national and 46 international sales locations with a total of 1550 employees to fulfill this purpose.
The connectors is standards, for individual solutions, from FOC up to the square plug-in connectors with 15 cables within a screw connection. Economically optimized, premium assembly, logistically sophisticated, 100% controlled, competently planned – these attributes stand for igus® ReadyCable®.
