About Elektrisola
Elektrisola was founded on 1 July 1948 by Dr. Gerd Schildbach in Reichshof-Eckenhagen and today operates as the Elektrisola Group with ten production plants in seven countries on three continents as well as 20 sales offices in 11 countries. The core business comprises the manufacture of enameled wire (magnet wire), bondable wire (self-bonding enameled wires), high-frequency litz wire (EFOLIT) in taped, profiled, extruded and served versions as well as Fully Insulated Wire. Production is based on drawing of fine and ultra-fine wire with diameters down to 0.008 mm and on enameling with insulating varnishes based on polyurethane, polyesterimide, polyamideimide and polyimide; Elektrisola develops and builds the corresponding fine-wire enameling machines itself. Conductor materials used include copper, high-strength copper alloys (ITW, HTW, XHTW, EHTW), silver-plated copper wire, aluminum, copper-clad aluminum wire (CCA/HTCCA) as well as CuNi, CuSn and CuMg alloys. Further processes include extrusion, taping, profiling, soldering, crimping, thermal compression and ultrasonic or resistance welding of litz wire, plus polyimide catheters and medical wires via the subsidiary Elektrisola Medical Technologies. Customer industries are electronics, automotive, photovoltaics, medical technology as well as transformer and electric motor manufacturing.
