chainflex® cables 2020 products and news

Our task is to continually develop innovations in the area of e-chains and cables. We thus enable you to save costs and simultaneously improve the quality of your machines and systems, in a nutshell "Tech up, cost down".

We at igus also accept responsibility for making a contribution towards the reduction of plastic waste and improving recycling: when energy chains reach the end of their service life, we enter them into the igus recycling program for processing. Find out about our investment in the chemical recycling program of Mura Technology Limited.
