SUSTAINABLE. RESPONSIBLE.
ON THE PATH TO A LEAD-FREE FUTURE.

For over 100 years, Wieland Electric has stood for innovation and responsibility. As a pioneer in electrical connection technology, we take our ecological responsibility seriously and actively pursue sustainable solutions. A key part of our environmental strategy is the transition to lead-free products – another step toward a greener future.

"For decades, lead was an essential component of the electrical industry. The gradual reduction of lead is a tremendous challenge, as it changes established production processes and requires new material solutions. At Wieland, we rely on innovative alternatives and sustainable technologies to successfully transition to a lead-free future – without compromising on safety and quality."
