Gustav Hensel and WAGO: Moving Step by Step to Digitization Together

Gustav Hensel is one of the global market leaders in electrical installation and distribution technology. To keep it that way, this family-owned company from Lennestadt relies on a digitization strategy based on small but sustainable steps. A key component is the gradual implementation of the digital twin, whose purpose is to optimize the processes between project planning and production.
Hensel is thriving, with annual revenue of around 110 million euros, a global network of subsidiaries and trading partners and more than 800 employees, whose order books are always full. When it comes to energy distribution, you can’t avoid Hensel. This company from the Sauerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia offers products for many installation tasks in commercial and industrial buildings, outdoor applications, transport infrastructure systems and the heavily standardized solar power sector. That provides a strong foundation for the future – but this successful switchgear manufacturer has no intention of resting on its laurels. More efficient workflows with shorter delivery times, consistent quality assurance despite increasing price pressure and reproducible processes to help counter the growing shortage of skilled labor – all of these are on the agenda. The company is tackling these challenges with the help of digitization in engineering.
