About Türk+Hillinger
Türk+Hillinger GmbH, headquartered in Tuttlingen, develops and produces electric heating elements, power resistors and temperature sensors – from tubular bent cartridge heaters, hollow cartridge heaters and screw-in heating elements to flanged heating elements, spiral heating registers and air heaters, as well as steel plate fixed resistors and sheathed thermocouples. As a development and system partner, the company designs tailor-made heating solutions with customer-specific power distribution, connection design and shaping, and holds more than 700 intellectual property filings. Production uses materials such as CrNi steel 1.4541, stainless steel 1.4301/1.4435, nickel 2.4060, brass, ceramic and micanite, as well as heating conductor materials such as NiCr 8020 and CuNi 44. The group employs around 850 people and produces more than 70,000 products daily, tailored among others to plastics technology (injection molding, hot runner), medical technology, household appliances, the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, and HVAC and energy technology.
