About FLOHE
FLOHE GmbH, based in Castrop-Rauxel, specialises in the engineering and manufacture of high-current technology components and systems. The product portfolio includes high-current cables, expansion bands, busbar systems up to 360 kA, arm systems for electric arc furnaces, busbar supports, crucibles as well as switching devices for railway technology, electrochemistry and plant engineering. Production is carried out on a CNC basis with machining up to a length of 12 metres, supplemented by waterjet cutting, stranding, diffusion welding and welding for copper, aluminium, steel and stainless steel. The offering is complemented by planning and design using modern CAD applications as well as service and installation services including on-call duty and lifetime spare parts supply. Key customer industries are steel (electric arc furnace, reduction and induction furnaces, continuous galvanising), electrical engineering, chemistry with chlorine, zinc, copper and aluminium electrolysis, as well as electroplating and railway technology. The company has stood for high-current technology for over 120 years and serves customers worldwide through the FLOHE Group.
