The HELUKABEL Group recently welcomed a new member: at the beginning of 2022, we acquired ekd gelenkrohr GmbH. The company, based in Erkrath near Düsseldorf, will operate as a subsidiary of HELUKABEL under the name EKD Systems and is now part of our international network of 60 locations in 37 countries.
EKD, founded in 1970 by Ernst Klein, specializes in the development and manufacture of customized energy chains made of steel, stainless steel and plastic. The company focuses on application-specific system solutions based on customer requirements, in small to medium quantities. For this purpose, the company has several machining centers, its own mold and die making facility and a fully automatic plastic injection molding department. “We are very pleased that we have reached a succession plan with HELUKABEL, which will secure the jobs of our team in the long term,” explain previous owners Ansgar and Holger Klein.
For us, the acquisition is an important step towards becoming a system and solution provider. HELUKABEL is currently the only company in the world that produces cables and wires as well as energy chains. Our goal is to supply customers not only with individual components, but also with complete, pre-assembled and ready-to-use assemblies. This means that end users have less work to do and can go to a single point of contact for all their questions regarding connection technology.
Customised products have always been a speciality at HELUKABEL. EKD Systems is an ideal new member to grow our portfolio in this area. Want to know more? Visit www.ekd-systems.de to get to know our new subsidiary!
