About us
Jäger Elektrotechnik GmbH is a family business founded in 1977 and now run by the third generation, headquartered in Eppstein in the Taunus region, around 40 kilometres west of Frankfurt am Main. The mid-sized company is a partner to industry in the field of electrical engineering. Its core competencies lie in switchgear cabinet and control system construction, in the development and production of switched-mode magnet power supplies for particle accelerators, and in machine and plant installation. At the Eppstein plant, single units and series cabinets are manufactured from lot size 1 up to large volumes, complemented by module assembly, switchgear construction in low- and medium-voltage technology, and automation solutions including PLC programming and visualization. Since the early 1980s, custom magnet power supplies, converter technology and pulsed high-voltage power supplies for klystrons have been produced for use in nuclear research institutes, particle therapy centres and medical technology. As a UL-certified company, it manufactures switchgear and control cabinets to UL 508A including labels for export to the USA and Canada. The services range from planning, project engineering and engineering with EPLAN P8, AutoCAD, SolidWorks and EPLAN Pro Panel through to manufacturing, testing, installation and commissioning.

Quality
The quality management system meets the requirements of DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and was first certified in May 1996; since June 2010, an environmental management system according to DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 has also been in place. As a UL-certified company, the company plans, manufactures and labels switchgear and control cabinets to UL 508A.
