The METROFUNK Gesellschaft für Funk- und Fernmeldeteile mbH was founded in november 1946. The single product at that time were so called radio-lamps, i.e. table lamps, where a speaker was integrated in the lampshade and the lightbulb served as a multiplier.

From 1951 onwards METROFUNK developed plug connectors with 4-30 contacts.

In 1956 customer feedback made us realize that the detection of the right cores by wire test or battery was a very lengthy process (all multi-core cables had black and white cores then, colored cores were used in high-voltage cables only). This inspired METROFUNK to search for a solution.

In 1957 the production of wire with one or two colored core insulation was tested and presented in adverts in trade magazines. Shortly after the introduction almost all manufacturing industries in the Federal Republic of Germany had become customers of the by then renamed METROFUNKKABEL-UNION GmbH.

Today

Today we stock more than 2500 different wires, cables and cords and sell worldwide. We purposely refrain from complicated formalisms. Clearly stated offers, fixed prices graduated only by volume and prompt delivery at best rates are as natural a part of our service as the consultation by telephone or the personal conversation with our customers.

If this has made you curious, please take a look at our online catalog. Or order you personal copy of our catalog, either as printed or cd-rom version, directly from our homepage.
If you have any questions, that our catalog does not answer, or if you need specialty wires that are not part of our regular stock please do not hesitate to call us.
