About stuckeGROUP
Stucke Elektronik GmbH (stuckeGROUP) develops and manufactures digital protection and control devices at its Hamburg headquarters for power generation and distribution in low-, medium- and high-voltage systems. The multifunctional protection relays cover generator protection, motor protection, transformer protection, feeder protection, distance protection, line differential protection, arc protection (SYMAP ARC, tripping time under 2 ms), power management, diesel automation as well as hybrid applications and battery storage systems. All software and firmware is developed in-house; production takes place exclusively in Hamburg (Made in Germany). In addition to its products, the company offers consulting and engineering, complete switchgear and control systems including installation and commissioning, protection testing with OMICRON equipment, and a 24/7 lifecycle service with repair and spare parts supply. Customers come from shipbuilding and offshore (including over 2,500 container ships, 800 oil tankers), power plants, renewable energies (wind, solar, hydropower, CHP) as well as emergency power systems for hospitals, data centers and airports. Founded in 1968, the company with 120 employees operates branches in Serbia, China, Korea and India.
