Switchgear construction

Your partner for switchgear construction in Germany

The control cabinet is the heart of every automation solution – this is where all control and monitoring functions come together. Its quality is crucial to the performance, efficiency and reliability of your systems.

The TRIPS group stands for switchgear manufacturing “Made in Germany” and combines decades of experience with state-of-the-art production technology. In our ultra-modern production center, over 100 specialized specialists work exclusively on the production of switch cabinets – precisely, efficiently and in accordance with internationally recognized standards. This capacity is supported by our production team at our site in Poland, enabling us to respond flexibly to a wide range of project requirements.

An essential part of our quality promise is the FAT test (Factory Acceptance Test). Every switchgear is comprehensively tested before delivery to ensure that it meets your specifications exactly and is ready for immediate use. In this way, we minimize commissioning times and maximize the operational reliability of your system.
