About binder
binder is a family-owned company founded in 1960 with headquarters in Neckarsulm, specializing in circular connectors ranging from subminiature to multi-pole machine connectors. With a high level of in-house production depth, the binder group manufactures zinc die-cast housings, stamped parts, turned parts and coated contacts, delivering up to ready-to-assemble modules with integrated connectors. The portfolio is complemented by virtually every form of cable assembly – from flat cables and cable harnesses to modular cables, power, sensor and hybrid cables as well as custom special solutions. Via binder solutions, the company develops and designs customized connectors, while its EMS subsidiary in Vohburg provides electronic system services. The group comprises nine international sales offices, seven production facilities and two system service providers, as well as an innovation and technology center in Bad Rappenau. Key industries include automation technology, measurement, control and regulation technology, and medical technology.
