KRAUS&NAIMER has pioneered many new developments. In the late 1920s, the new material "electric wood" was already in use. Later it was called the new "electric wood switch" and accepted in the industry. As early as 1949, the first modular design cam switch and technologically revolutionary switch were introduced, and their characteristics influenced all subsequent designs. After years of development, it has evolved into the undisputed market leader of cam switches and established standards for isolating switches. Based on multiple patents, our existing product line covers the global market and provides optimized solutions both technically and economically to address every application.
