About MG Handel AG

MG Handel AG, based in Wildau near Berlin, is a manufacturing supplier and metal trading company for metal semi-finished products, busbar tubes, overhead line cables, earthing cables and wires made of copper and aluminium. Starting from classic semi-finished product trading, the company has developed into a specialised manufacturing partner for the electrical power distribution industry. In cooperation with various aluminium works, around 1,500 tonnes of busbar tubes are produced annually, with tube dimensions up to 27 metres produced on large extrusion presses. In its own processing centre in Wildau, the tubes are bent in-plane and in 3D, pre-tensioned, fitted with welded flanges and equipped with damping cables – following the philosophy of "fit for purpose", the pre-assembled busbar tube is delivered ready for installation.
