About the Kufferath Group
H. Kufferath GmbH, headquartered in Moers, was founded in 1995 and operates internationally as the Kufferath Group, a medium-sized company in the testing and fixture technology sector. Its core business is the development and manufacture of test systems, test benches (Test Tables), test modules and adapters for manufacturers of automotive wire harnesses; these are used to verify the function of complete wiring sets and electronic components before installation. The products follow a modular principle (HK UniTEst, standard modules 50×50, 50×100 and 100×100 mm) and comprise test hardware including test software (Hetos). Manufacturing is partly CNC-supported; central product development, quality analysis, material selection and initial sample production are located at the Moers competence center. Production sites exist in Nitra (Slovakia) and Nicaragua, complemented by branches and service centers in Mexico, China, Tunisia, Morocco as well as Creasoft Spain. Customer industries include, besides the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, plant engineering, medical technology and aerospace.
