About CAR-ELECTRIC
CAR-ELECTRIC is a system partner for vehicle electrics based in Reinbek near Hamburg. Founded in 2016, the company develops and manufactures custom and standardized cable harnesses, adapter cable sets, wiring harnesses and cable sets in OEM quality – from the hand sketch via circuit diagrams, harness drawings and bills of materials to series delivery. Production is carried out as manual and machine manufacturing in small series of 1 to 10,000 units per year with conductor cross-sections of 0.35 to 95 mm² (FLY, FLYR, FLYY). Focus areas are Plug&Play cable harnesses for planned installation, the integration of battery systems into combustion and electric vehicles, as well as prototype construction, commissioning and testing. Since November 2024, CAR-ELECTRIC has been part of philippi elektrische systeme gmbh in Remseck; the range of services has been extended to the marine and expedition vehicle sector. Customers include OEM-certified solutions for Volkswagen and MAN. More than 40 employees work at the Reinbek (1,800 sqm) and Remseck (800 sqm) sites in the areas of project management, design, production, software development, installation and testing.
