Your partner for
Electromechanical connection solutions.
Our motto:
Tradition connects people.
Innovation drives us.
For 100 years we have been combining like this
Inventive spirit with reliability
Püplichhuisen has long been synonymous with the distribution of sophisticated electromechanical components. As a third-generation family business – with deep roots in Duisburg and a commitment to anticipating tomorrow’s solutions today – we have made a name for ourselves. From here, supported by our site in Poland, we serve customers from a wide range of industries, such as the automotive and e-mobility sectors, mechanical and energy engineering, and the manufacture of electrical equipment, apparatus and switchgear.
For over 100 years now, we have been ensuring that connections deliver on their promise. Together with 35 strong product partners and a portfolio of over 70,000 products, we develop solutions that are precisely tailored to the requirements of our 6,500 customers: reliable, safe and always one step ahead.
Our four core competencies:
- In collaboration with leading manufacturers, we supply high-quality connecting and terminal technology.
- In our own cable assembly department, we manufacture highly complex and sophisticated cable harnesses and assemblies according to individual customer requirements.
- We supply equipment and tools for safe cable processing, as well as hand tools and semi- and fully automatic machines for modern production processes.
- Through consultancy, design and quality assurance at the manufacturer’s level, we deliver technical solutions that prove their worth in the long term.
This is how we create lasting connections – yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Our vision.
Our Mission.
We think in terms of generations, not quarters. Stability and a sense of responsibility characterise our working relationships just as much as our openness to new technologies. We see ourselves not merely as a distributor, but as a development and implementation partner who identifies industry-specific requirements at an early stage. Together with our partners, we use these to develop new technologies and solutions suitable for the sector. Rapid decision-making, straightforward communication and a shared understanding of quality form the foundation of our work.
It is this combination of experience, innovative strength and collaborative partnership that defines Püplichhuisen: a team that forges lasting connections – forward-looking, people-centred and spanning sectors.
A family.
One team.
Our team of 130 employees combines technical expertise with precise processes and a way of working that blends reliability with approachability. This applies not only to customers but also to partners and the team itself. Flat hierarchies and a family-like working atmosphere encourage initiative, creativity, and personal responsibility. This ensures we retain the innovative strength that has set us apart for 100 years.
Every year, we train young people starting out in their careers, thereby fulfilling our responsibility as a regional employer. Püplichhuisen has always offered its staff long-term prospects through attractive career progression opportunities. We do this partly out of our social responsibility as a business, but also purely in our own interests. After all, our complex work requires a wide range of skilled staff, whom we naturally wish to retain. This ensures that we can continue to offer our customers the highest levels of quality and flexibility in the future.
