Show us your energy guidance problem, and we'll solve it!


"Show me the plastic part that causes you the most problems. I'll give you a solution!" This is the idea that moved our founder, Günter Blase, to start igus GmbH in 1964. We retained that idea for 20 years before expanding it to: "We make the most difficult energy supply systems simple for our customers."
For instance, we looked into applications that we had not previously been able to serve with the solutions in our catalogue portfolio, performed individual project planning, tested them, and continuously derived standards going forward. This means that today we can deliver many modular products to you immediately or simply adapt them to your application.
