About us
The Ernst Nolden Elektroanlagenbau GmbH is a family business founded in Mendig in 1950 and now in its third generation, specializing in plant automation and the optimization of production processes. Its range of services includes the planning and construction of low-voltage switchgear up to 1000 V, engineering and programming of PLC controls (including Siemens Simatic, AEG Modicon, Moeller Electric, Telemecanique) with PC visualization, and electronic inverter controls up to 500 kW per machine. A key focus is controls for the hard rock industry, for example for crushing and screening plants, pumice stone production, precast concrete manufacturing, and basalt and lava processing, complemented by dosing technology and solutions for water and wastewater engineering. Technicians provide service and support throughout Europe, including fault clearance, plant conversions and E-Check inspections. The company is located at Bahnstraße 25 in Mendig (Rhineland-Palatinate); customers include companies from the stone, pumice and basalt industries.
