GfN Gesellschaft für Niederspannungsmodule mbH

In 2001, Mr. Wolfgang Franke founded the company GfN Gesellschaft für Niederspannungsmodule mbH in Leipzig, which offers services in the field of switchgear production.

For more than 11 years there has been a cooperation between GFN and NATUS within which low-voltage plug-in units for low-voltage switchgear and low-voltage niches/boxes for medium-voltage switchgear are constructed, wired and tested. This cooperation has intensified to such an extent that GFN became a wholly owned subsidiary of NATUS GmbH & Co KG on October 1, 2023.

GFN is an important building block for NATUS in order to maintain sufficient production capacities and thus remain flexible and capable of acting.

Kesselhut Schaltanlagen GmbH & Co. KG

NATUS GmbH & Co. KG has taken over Kesselhut Schaltanlagen GmbH & Co. KG, based in Leopoldshöhe-Asemissen (near Bielefeld), with effect from 01.01.2024.

The takeover is a strategic and future-oriented acquisition, as Kesselhut, which, like NATUS, manufactures low-voltage switchgear using fixed installation technology, serves different markets and customer bases than NATUS with its 45 employees and a turnover of over €10 million.

The company Kesselhut Schaltanlagen will continue to be managed by the previous managing partner and former sole owner Mr. Andreas Pahl as managing director. This ensures the important continuity in the management of Kesselhut Schaltanlagen.

For NATUS, this takeover represents a strategic expansion into new markets and a new geographical presence in northern Germany, which will enable NATUS to expand its overall presence in the German market and thus its market share in the long term.
