For almost 40 years, Widap AG has been a leading manufacturer of customer-specific resistors and load banks. Through the successful acquisition of the companies Estec Elektrotechnik AG, Trielec AG and ELKO-Systeme AG, we have successfully utilised the last few years to expand our field of activity in the areas of technology for railway, energy distribution, reactive power compensation, motor protection and measuring. As representatives of notable manufacturers, we also offer a wide range of load disconnecting switches, load transfer switches, circuit breakers, fuses, electric meters, current transformers, solid state contactors, contactors, isolators, disconnecting switches and busbar systems.

In addition to our head office in Schmitten (Switzerland), Widap AG has  a subsidiary in Diessenhofen, a branch with Widap GmbH and a distribution and logistics centre in Germany with Widap Electronic Components GmbH. As a result Widap AG now belongs to an internationally renowned manufacturer of customer-specific solutions in various fields of electrical engineering.

Our strengths lie in engineering, service, analysis and development of innovative, customised new products, systems and applications, which we produce in small or medium-sized serial production in Switzerland. We can produce larger series, thanks to our production options in the EU as well as in the Asian region, in high quality at competitive prices.

Our engineers are able to design creative concepts within a short time and provide customers with the option to be closely involved in the development process from the beginning of the project up to the market launch. Complex thermal simulations and strength calculations can be initially executed in the conceptualisation phase in order to achieve an ideal design and therefore create savings both in terms of cost and time.
