At BizLink Special Cables Germany GmbH in Friesoythe, data cables are wrapped with foils using so-called rewinding systems or taping machines in order to optimize their application-specific properties. Light guide sensors from ipf electronic ensure reliable production processes in the machines developed specifically for this purpose.
BizLink, which today has around 16,000 employees worldwide, was founded in Silicon Valley (USA) in 1996 to develop and produce network cables for the IT industry, among other things. BizLink Special Cables Germany GmbH was established in 2022 as part of the acquisition of the then LEONI Industrial Solutions Business Group by BizLink Holding Inc.
However, cable and wire production in Friesoythe was established by Siemens back in 1972. Currently, around 650 employees at the site southwest of Oldenburg primarily manufacture cables for automation technology, telecommunications and medical technology, with some of the products, e.g. for medical technology, leaving the company already ready-made.
