About Wöhner
Wöhner GmbH & Co. KG develops and manufactures products for the distribution and control of electrical energy. The company is a specialist in international fuse and busbar systems used in the market segments of power distribution, control technology and renewable energies. Manufacturing is supported by in-house departments for metalworking, electroplating, toolmaking and plastics production, which were established between 1950 and 1965 and later spun off into sister companies of the holding Wöhner Industries; final assembly to this day takes place predominantly in Germany. The systems include 60Classic, 30Compact, 185Power, CrossBoard as well as the electronic, fuseless motor starter Motus C14. The products are available in the two globally dominant standards IEC and UL. The Wöhner Group comprises twelve subsidiaries and, through representatives and business relationships, supplies customers in more than 80 countries. The group is headquartered in Rödental in Upper Franconia near Coburg in Bavaria.
