PRECISION MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY

We’re already being measured against tomorrow’s standards – where we continue to lead

Our customers in automotive, electromobility, energy, and drive technologies are moving at breakneck speed. Innovation is measured in demand for a wider range of current parameters, temperature extremes, storage stamina, and evolving physical/environmental challenges (e.g. wind, solar, space.) These pioneers turn to Isabellenhütte for technological leadership because their reputation—as leaders—is on the line.

When compromise isn’t an option, we always measure up.

In addition to an extensive line of off-the-shelf products, we also develop highly customized/individual solutions using state-of-the-art design and production processes, including the APQP (IATF 16949) standard.

DC CURRENT, VOLTAGE & TEMPERATURE SENSORS (IVT SERIES)
