It is one of these remarkable stories that started at the dawn of industrialization back in the 19th century and is still going from strength to strength today. The roots of Schniewindt GmbH & Co. KG date back to the year 1829 when Carl Schniewindt opened his own business focusing on wire processing. Today, his descendants produce high-voltage resistors and are leading the way when it comes to electrical equipment for energy distribution. The portfolio of the family company in the rural Sauerland area covers heating technology and electric resistor technology as well as energy transmission solutions.
