About Amphenol Tuchel Industrial
Amphenol Tuchel Industrial GmbH (ATI), headquartered in Heilbronn, is part of Amphenol Corporation, one of the world's leading manufacturers of electrical interconnect technology with over 140,000 employees in more than 50 countries. The company develops and manufactures plastic and metal connectors, high-current contacts and industrial cable assemblies including overmolded assemblies, Y-splitters and extension cables. The portfolio includes series such as the A-Series, heavy|mate, eco|mate, motion|grade, signal|mate, charge|mate for CCS2 and MCS charging solutions, as well as Radsok high-current contacts with currents up to 400 A and voltages up to 4000 V. In product development, manufacturing-relevant criteria are considered early on through FEM simulations and injection molding simulations. Production takes place at the Czech site in Ostrov, where a new production hall was occupied in 2023; in Heilbronn, sales, product management, development, customer service, purchasing and IT are located. The solutions are used, among others, in automation technology, electromobility, agricultural and construction machinery, telecommunications, medical technology, rail technology, renewable energies and event technology. Sales and distribution networks extend across more than 40 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the USA and Asia.
