The company\u2019s founders are particularly proud that the path they blazed is now being continued from within their own ranks: The second generation of the founding families is successfully driving ELSPRO forward with fresh ideas and, at the same time, time-tested values.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past 40 years, the company has continued to evolve. Our product portfolio in electrical and lighting technology has been optimized and expanded through ongoing dialogue with our customers and partners. Close customer relationships have remained a key factor in our success: 15 field sales representatives serve customers throughout Germany, while six international distribution partners ensure growth beyond our national borders.<\/p>\n<p>A key feature of ELSPRO is and remains its \u201cMade in Germany\u201d production at the Hilden facility. Despite rising demand and a growing number of orders, the company has deliberately maintained its commitment to this location. Over the years, the company building has been expanded to include an additional production level and an outdoor hall in order to meet the increasing space requirements and to be able to promptly translate customer requests into product solutions.<\/p>\n<p>This is precisely where one of the company\u2019s greatest strengths lies: custom manufacturing tailored to customer specifications\u2014flexible, precise, and meeting the highest standards of safety and quality.<\/p>\n<p>This is how ELSPRO combines tradition with progress\u2014and lays the foundation for continued success in the future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16583 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elspro.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Firmengruender_680x213.png\" alt=\"Company Founder\" width=\"680\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elspro.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Firmengruender_680x213.png 680w, https:\/\/www.elspro.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Firmengruender_680x213-300x94.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>The founders (from left): Horst Schiffers, Winfried Brimmers, Hans-Werner Ribjitzki<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16585 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elspro.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schiffers_Brimmers_Ribjitzki_680x214.png\" alt=\"Schiffers, Brimmers, Ribjitzki\" width=\"680\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elspro.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schiffers_Brimmers_Ribjitzki_680x214.png 680w, https:\/\/www.elspro.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schiffers_Brimmers_Ribjitzki_680x214-300x94.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>The new generation (from left): Dirk Schiffers, Thomas Brimmers, Chris Ribjitzki<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis anniversary is not only a reason for us to celebrate, but also an opportunity to say thank you.
