About CR-Tools
CR-Tools develops and manufactures innovative plastic products for fastening and cable management technology – from custom design and prototype construction to series production and packaging. The range of services covers development, testing and certification (inspection, validation and approval) as well as production and packaging from a single source. A well-known product is the Alpha PV-Clip, which won the Federal Innovation Prize and is used for cable management on photovoltaic systems: with just one component, cables can be flexibly routed along both frame sides of PV modules in transverse and longitudinal directions, saving installation time and reducing sources of error during installation. Customers come from the photovoltaic and fastening technology industries.
