Switchgear production We switch faster

Sharing knowledge is our passion

We start our relationship with an in-depth consultation in which we analyse your requirements and identify areas where we see room for improvement. Next, we design and configure the solutions to meet your requirements while maximising their value to you.

Your ideas become reality with the help of our expert designers who are ready to freely share their knowledge and provide advisory and technical support, all with the clear aim of exceeding your expectations. Our designers receive regular training in order to maintain and improve their skills with switchgear and control cabinets manufacture and testing, enabling us to set worldwide standards.

We plan and design all switchgear in-house. Thanks to the know-how of our engineers, you can be sure right from the planning phase that your requirements will be implemented the exact in the way you want it.

We can supply single-source end-to-end solutions because we produce the switchgear ourselves. Since our design and production teams work shoulder to shoulder, design changes can be implemented very quickly, ensuring a high degree of flexibility to the very end of the project phase.

Systematic testing and pre-commissioning studies (on request) ensure our systems will run smoothly and reliably for a long time to come. Blumenbecker switchgear is installed on every continent and has proven to be a solid performer.

We can produce and assemble a wide variety of switchgear in job and series production – from individual switching cabinets to highly complex technical installations in compliance with all relevant standards and regulations (DIN/EN, VDE/ISO, UL, etc.).

We are also accustomed to making custom products for unusual requirements, such as special paints or uncommon switchgear cabinets/console formats. Our well-equipped machine shop includes a CNC machining centre and cable processing capability.

We are proud that our switchgear and control cabinets run smoothly on every continent.

Our yearly production volumes:

• nearly 1,000 pieces of large switchgears or sets of control cabinets 
• more than 1,500 pieces of medium-sized switchgears 
• more than 3,000 pieces of small cabinets.

Decided to modernise or overhaul your switchgears? Count on our help for every project phase – from preliminary consulting to developing the project documentation to programming and execution.

We modernise old automation systems such as old Simatic S5 central systems by replacing them with new systems such as Simatic S7 with distributed modules. Equipment upgrades are in good hands with us, too.

Programming by a specialist

We program all the systems ourselves so we can accurately and precisely fulfil your special requests and preferences. Our software engineers are intimately familiar with all standard programming systems and can also develop custom software with standardised interfaces.

We can program PLCs for all established manufacturers and will manage your plant automation systems over the entire plant lifecycle. We employ standards such as ABB, Allen Bradley, Beckhoff, Phoenix Contact, Siemens, Rockwell and Wonderware as well as all standard bus systems and components such as PROFINET, PROFIBUS, INTERBUS, AS-Interface, Industrial Ethernet, DeviceNet, ControlNet, Ethernet/IP and serial interfaces.

Our PLC programmers are exceedingly motivated and highly qualified. Being dyed-in-the-wool PLC professionals, we have extensive experience in all areas where PLC programming is needed. Our mission is to develop the best and most practical solutions for you, and we have the deep commitment to quality that this mission demands.

Our designers use state-of-the-art tools such as EPLAN and EEC One. EPLAN Engineering Centre One (EEC One) uses extensive rule sets to dramatically accelerate detail engineering and shorten overall engineering time. EEC One accesses the EPLAN article database directly and incorporates articles and the associated reference data. Automating data imports in this way avoids transfer errors and increases efficiency.

EPLAN’s EEC One is a tool designed to be interdisciplinary from the start. This end-to-end solution supports mechatronic configuration and automated document generation for sales, engineering and production. As a result, it improves the quality of your documentation.

We manufacture our switchgear and controlgear to EN 61439, the universal standard on safety requirements for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies. It contains not only product standards, but also general specifications for all types of low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies as well as design rules that can also be used for all switchgear and controlgear assemblies.

As a switchgear and controlgear manufacturer, we are responsible for: 

• Designing power switchgear and controlgear (PSC) assemblies in accordance with the specified rating data 
• Standards compliance vis-à-vis the customer 
• Compliance with the design verification conducted by the original manufacturer

• Equipment labelling and documentation 
• Performing routine verification

We take this responsibility very seriously. We thoroughly check every piece of switchgear and controlgear before it leaves our facility, including: 

• Electrical tests as required
• Calculation of temperature rise for switchgear and controlgear assembly InA ≤ 1,600 A

Spares and accessories for your switchgear
With a stock level of 4,000 items from well-known manufacturers we can offer a just in time service.Thanks to long-standing suppliers, we can provide components for control systems and switchgears with the minimum of delay.

Order picking of parts and spares stocking for your switchgear are of course part and parcel of the customer service. This ensures express delivery times, even in an emergency.

Our specialities:

• switchgear cabinets and enclosures
• switchgear
• PLC
• fittings

More and more companies have outsourced their entire switchgear production, but still want the actual production process to stay nearby. To accommodate them, our highly trained staff will assembly switchgear at our customers’ facilities.

The benefits are twofold: it accelerates processes and offers much greater responsiveness to changes in workload. Let us handle switchgear production for you, including all the electrical design work, CAD documentation and electrical installation.

EPLAN Electric P8 is a CAE software solution for project planning, documentation and management of electrotechnical automation projects. It is based on an innovative platform technology that enables horizontal and vertical integration in engineering.

International standards such as IEC 81346, ANSI, JIC, NFPA, GB or the Russian GOST are also supported. Because we work with EPLAN P8 / EPLAN Pro Panel for all projects, compatibility with your professional standards is guaranteed at all times.
