Why Choose Zilken for Electrical Engineering?

From the wire to the finished cable harness

Wires and cable assemblies are available pre-assembled according to your specifications—cut to length, with wire end ferrules, cable lugs, and the appropriate connector. We work with you to determine the dimensions, cross-sections, and connections based on our own experience, and source the finished products through our network of suppliers.

A field ranging from installation to automation

Whether it’s cables and wires, connection and terminal technology, control cabinet accessories, sensors, fieldbus systems, or power supplies—we cover the entire spectrum of industrial electrical engineering. This means you can get all your related needs met from a single source instead of having to turn to many different suppliers.

Technical expertise instead of catalog mailings

We take your application into account: protection class, conductor cross-section, temperature and environmental requirements, as well as EMC. When a special design is required, we clarify the technical requirements and specifically source the right solution—even beyond standard specifications.

Recurring Procurement, Handled Reliably

For industrial customers with regular needs, repeatable processes are crucial. We know your products, ensure transparent procurement, and deliver consistent quality. This is how we lay the foundation for a strong, long-term partnership.

Packaging & Sets

Customers who purchase wires, sensor-actuator cables, or cable assemblies based on a bill of materials can also receive them as pre-assembled sets. We assemble pre-picked, labeled, and ready-to-install kits and component sets —from cut-to-length wires to wire end ferrules, cable lugs, and assembled connectors. This reduces the effort required for sorting during production and keeps inventory levels low.

One-stop procurement

Cables, wires, control cabinet accessories, and plug-and-connector technology can all be purchased in a single order from one point of contact with a single delivery.

As a system partner, we handle supplier selection, certificate management, and incoming goods inspection.

FAQ

Do you assemble wires and cable assemblies according to specifications?

Yes, wires, connecting cables, and cable assemblies can be purchased pre-assembled according to your specifications—from cutting to length, through ferrule and cable lugs, all the way to fully assembled connectors. We will coordinate dimensions, cross-sections, and connector profiles with you and source the appropriate design through our network.

Do you also supply products for higher protection ratings or more demanding environmental conditions?

We have experience with high protection ratings and with applications subject to extreme temperatures, oil, or vibration. We source the right model specifically tailored to your requirements through our network of suppliers.

Do you offer cable protection for challenging installations?

Yes, cable protection sleeves and flexible protection systems—including the corresponding fittings and brackets—are part of our cable management solutions. We tailor the type and nominal diameter to your installation requirements.

Do you also source components that aren't part of the standard lineup?

In addition to our standard product lineup, we source items specifically according to your requirements: We identify the right supplier, inspect the part, and add it to your order. Special requests are also part of our daily routine.
