More than six decades of top-quality technology for the wire and cable industry
Founded in 1951, Maschinenfabrik NIEHOFF GmbH & CO. KG has played a major role in the development of the wire and cable industry throughout its existence. The first multiwire drawing machine, drawing lines for the inline production of cables or the NPS reusable packaging system for cable packaging are just some of the technological milestones to have come from the NIEHOFF company. Continuous research and development in close partnership with the cable industry have made NIEHOFF the world market leader. Investment in technology and infrastructure and the continuous training and professional education of our employees provide the basis for ensuring that we keep it that way in the future as well.
