about us

Quality that you can count on: For over 60 years, Bals Elektrotechnik GmbH & Co. KG has been the partner for good and secure connections. Our products prove themselves around the world and in a wide variety of applications. At Bals, "Made in Germany" stands for a quality standard that offers you optimum safety. From the beginning the headquarters of our company is located in Kirchhundem-Albaum (North-Rhine-Westphalia). Product development, marketing and sales, as well as administration are located here. In addition, plug and socket systems and special products are manufactured in the Kirchhundem-Albaum factory. The factory in Freiwalde (Brandenburg), built in 1994 and expanded many times since, has state-of-the-art production facilities for fully-automatic manufacturing of unique CEE plugs and connectors and a highly-effective logistics centre. The products for the infrastructure of electromobility are produced and stored in our plant in Kirchhundem-Würdinghausen, which will be completed in 2021.

As an independent, medium-sized, family-owned company, we produce components for EV charging, standardised industrial plugs and sockets acc. to IEC 309 1-2 as well as plug and socket systems and distributors for the global market. We set new technical standards with innovations and ground-breaking, partially patented new developments such as MULTI-GRIP or QUICK-CONNECT. The export rate in excess of 50 percent shows: Our solutions are highly valued around the world. Our products are sold in more than 80 countries. Subsidiaries and exclusive partners in strategically important countries only sell our products.

Always close to the customers. For us, this is no empty phrase but reality. Flexibility, customer orientation and the ability to quickly respond to short-term requirements are a matter of course for us. For this reason, integrated production - from the product idea and design to tool making and production to the shipment of the products – is optimised for short processing paths and the fastest response times.
