About GKT Grüner Kabeltechnik
GKT Grüner Kabeltechnik is a manufacturing company specializing in cable assembly, based in Eschelbronn near Sinsheim. The company crimps, cuts, solders and assembles cables and assemblies, produces prototype wiring and cable sets, and subsequently manufactures them in series. Contacts in the cross-section range from AWG 11 to AWG 32 and cables from 0.03 mm² to 50 mm² are processed, including LVD, blacklight, power supply and solar cables as well as flat ribbon cables from 6 to 50 poles with various contact types. In addition, GKT handles the assembly of complete assemblies and enclosure labeling. Customers come from the commercial vehicle, medical technology, industrial, automotive and LED lighting sectors as well as vehicle conversions for people with limited mobility. Quality assurance is carried out in an in-house testing laboratory with a microsection laboratory and pull-out force tester; the company is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. Founded in 2008 with one employee and 35 m² of production space, GKT moved to a larger office and production building in 2021.
