About AUKOS
AUKOS GmbH is an automation company based in Osterholz-Scharmbeck that has been manufacturing switchgear cabinets in-house since 1998. Its service portfolio includes electrical engineering with EPLAN, PLC programming for Siemens, Mitsubishi, Rockwell and Wago, automation technology, switchgear construction as one-off or series production, as well as assembly, installation and commissioning. Manufacturing is based on 3D control cabinet design with EPLAN Pro Panel combined with a drilling and milling machine for surface-friendly machining of mounting plates, doors and enclosures in sheet steel and stainless steel. The company also offers robotics (Kuka, Mitsubishi, Kawasaki), photovoltaic systems from 2 kWp to 3000 kWp, energy management, machine safety, switchgear to UL 508A for the US market and explosion protection. Customers come, among others, from process engineering, the food industry, conveying technology, special machinery construction, the power plant and water/wastewater sectors, and building automation. In 2020, manufacturing was converted to digital manufacturing together with Phoenix Contact.
