Altmann Printed Elements GmbH

We are a family-owned company

Since foundation of the company in 1963 we have been focusing on the development, construction and manufacturing of potentiometers as well as sensors for path, angle and position detection for industrial applications. The resistor elements based on the wire-wound technology and thick-film printing technology are manufactured on our own equipment. In addition to elements for our own products, we also manufacture and print PCB (printed circuit boards) and other carrier systems using the thick-film printing process.

We offer products in the highest precision, rounded by an adequate and comprehensive service supply. Starting from the first design to the final serial product we are by your side with a longtime experience.
