About Elpress
Elpress AB develops and produces crimping systems for electrical connections, including battery-powered and hydraulic crimping tools, cable cutters, crimping heads with crimping forces up to 40 tons, as well as a broad range of cable lugs and connectors. The portfolio comprises copper, aluminium and bi-metal terminals (0.75–1200 mm²), insulated and uninsulated clamps, C-sleeves, shearbolt connectors for low voltage and medium voltage up to 36 kV, as well as crimping stations for industrial production. The materials are electrolytic copper, copper 99.9 % and 99.95 %, aluminium 99.7 %, brass and tin bronze, some tin-plated. The company additionally offers training (Academy), certification of the crimping system, technical consulting, and service covering maintenance, repair, testing, calibration and rental of tools. Key industries are renewable energy, automotive, electrical engineering, railway and defence. The headquarters with development, in-house laboratory, technical support and production is located in Kramfors, Sweden; through authorised service partners the company is present worldwide.
