RUHSTRAT was founded in 1888 by the brothers Adolf and Ernst
Ruhstrat. Since then the "electrotechnical shop" in Göttingen
has turned into a modern medium-sized family company.
In 1894 RUHSTRAT created the adjustable sliding resistor – in
collaboration with the Noble prize winner Prof. Walter Nernst
from the University of Göttingen - which formed the basis for
the adjustment respectively change of resistances as well as
of current and voltage. The further development led to the construction
of the first resistance-heated high-temperature furnace in 1896
and since 1898 the construction of high-temperature furnaces
for industrial use was assigned to the "electro-mechanical workshop
Gebr. Ruhstrat". Since that time RUHSTRAT has manufactured high-tech
industrial furnace plants operating at up to 3000° C for the most
diverse forms of heat treatment, together with the transformers
which are necessary for their operation. |

In 1916, the first emergency lighting systems with individual batteries were
supplied by RUHSTRAT. In the following years, the concentration of efforts on
the production and sale of transformers, powerresistors, emergency power
supplies and resistance-heated industrial furnaces was further increased. For
more than 100 years RUHSTRAT has been bringing technology in these areas
to the fore.
In 1960 the registered office of the company was transferred from Göttingen
to Bovenden–Lenglern. Larger, more modern plant installations and production
facilities provided RUHSTRAT with the opportunity to expand further and
to improve its competitiveness thereby.
Since 1993, RUHSTRAT has been certified according to DIN ISO 9001 (German
Industrial Standard/international standard organisation). |

| For our domestic and
international customers this certification means that, with RUHSTRAT, quality
is ensured as a matter of course. With high quality, experience and knowledge
gained over 110 years RUHSTRAT has established itself internationally as
being one of the leading electrotechnical enterprises. RUHSTRAT technology
is used in industry, universities, institutes, laboratories and research institutions
throughout the world. |

The cooperation in the Central Federation for the Electrical Industry (ZVEI)
in the collaboration with universities, colleges and research
institutes steadily provides RUHSTRAT with new impulses regarding research
and development.
RUHSTRAT's focus of interest nowadays centres on four strategic business
segments:
special transformers and power resistors
emergency power supply units
binding posts, sockets, lead-through bolts
electrically and fuel-heated industrial furnaces |
