                  The NEPTUN highlights &amp;nbsp; 
 There are 1- to 4-row polystyrene&amp;nbsp;or polycarbonate versions of the new IP65 damp area distributor NEPTUN. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  Adjusting the DIN rails  
  Quick and fast with the click system  
 This distributor series uses a tool-free click system for adjusting the DIN rails on 2 levels. The DIN rails can be quickly and easily adjusted to the standard installation height of 50 mm or 62 mm. So NEPTUN offers plenty of space for installing deeper modular devices and modular clamp systems. 
  &amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;  
  MKF4/26 entrance flange  
  Tool-free cable insertion with IP65  
 One of NEPTUN’s technical highlights is the IP65 membrane entrance flange. This flange allows a tool-free installation without the need to make any openings. The advantage of this is that no extra parts, such as cable glands, are required to ensure compliance with protection class IP65. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
  AMS ventilation system  
  With a breathable membrane &amp;nbsp; 
 Another highlight is the  f-tronic ®   Air-Membrane-System with its breathable membrane, which ensures circulation of the ambient air and balancing of the temperature inside the distributor. This system reduces the formation of harmful condensation inside the distributor. 
 &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 
  Extensive range of accessories  
 
 Set for fixing a Schuko socket on the outside of the distributor 
 Cable clamp set for a tidy laying of the cables&amp;nbsp; 
 Mounting bracket set for an external mounting option

                  Double power in distribution  
 We have expanded our extensive  range of small distributors  by a further distributor variant: The new  Twin Distributor series  for flush-mounted and cavity wall installation is our newest solution on offer for space-saving distribution. 
 The fusion of two distributors into one is not only visually appealing, but also clearly arranged: The clever and space-saving combination of circuit and communication distributors offers plenty of room in a small space. The enormous time and cost savings during installation are further advantages. When installing in a cavity wall, instead of two segments as before, only one cut-out is made, which considerably simplifies the process. 
 In the case of flush-mounting, you no longer need to align a second distributor, thus saving time and frequent readjustments. 
 You can choose between 4 versions with 2- or 3-row circuit distribution and with or without a WIFI door. The WIFI door features a centered plastic insert which provides improved reception. As a full-range distributor in the small distribution field, we offer 55 different versions in stock in our product range.

                  Competence succeeds: f-tronic goes medical &amp;nbsp; 
 Innovation knows no bounds with us. We not only develop products with a high quality, but also combine them with a long service life. Due to the difficult, competitive environment we are experiencing these days, sustainability has become a high priority for us. 
 We have been contributing our knowledge to biomedical research by means of our multi-component technology. Our modern machinery of over 35 injection molding machines, from 200 to 12500 kN and a shot weight of a few grams up to over 2 kg, ensures that we achieve exact results. 
 The Fraunhofer Institute IBMT has provided us with an opportunity to implement our many years of experience in plastics technology. They invited us to develop a plastic carrier plate for the biological laboratories. This allows them to perform the entire workflow in Fraunhofer cellular biotechnology - including long-term storage at low temperatures. High cooling rates are achieved with the production of ultra-thin bases. These surfaces even enable a structure- and function-preserving freezing process without the formation of ice crystals. The designed plastic carrier plate is stable at cryptogenic temperatures below -140 °C so that highly specialized cell types such as dopaminergic neurons can be stored indefinitely in application-oriented formats. The plate can be used for the production of a variety of cell types. Subsequently, we enable biomedical research to store cellular model systems in standardized formats. The entire development process was closely monitored and supervised by our experienced staff, from the design to manufacture.

                  Internal sales: Your personal team  
 Our meter cabinet lets us orient entirely to the needs of our customers – the builders and installers. Numerous new features ensure rapid and convenient installation – such as click screws for rapid dust cover assembly. And the screwless mounting compartment fastening system has been newly developed. 
 We place great value in reliable, rapid planning for your project. Our competent project team makes this possible for you. The team is glad to assist you at this with personal consultation in planning your project. 
 &amp;nbsp; 
    &amp;nbsp; 
 Decide on one of our meter cabinets together with our project team, then plan with these three different forms of delivery. 
  Component delivery form  It serves the wholesale trade offered the storage system by us. Our meter cabinet can thus be compiled individually. You can simply take the required meter-, distribution- and communication compartments from storage – very flexible and without delivery times! 
  Project delivery form  Our project team will plan your meter unit with an arrangement sketch, so that we can deliver it to your project premounted. The premounted meter cabinet is then ready for you to wire. You thereby save valuable work time in planning and assembly.&amp;nbsp; 
  Developed project delivery form  We will be happy to also plan your meter unit with complete wiring and documentation. To do this, our project team will require all of the information from you (system installation location, number of meter places, circuit diagram, etc.) Our meter units are completely wired by us and labelled for your project. You assemble the installation as a complete system and you can place it into operation immediately. You therefore save time in planning, assembling and the documentation.­

                  Fire prevention sockets now also tested for timber construction  
 Last year, we launched our fire protection sockets, which combine the three most important properties: sound insulation, fire safety, and energy efficiency. The fire protection sockets ( BS2000 ,  BS2700 ,  BS3500 ,  BS3700 ) have now also been tested for timber construction. 
 As a renewable raw material, timber is once again gaining in importance as a building material in modern sustainable construction methods. As there are different regional kinds of wood, a large variety of types may be used. Building at height becomes increasingly efficient the higher you build thanks to the low weight of the material. This construction method is very appealing in urban areas with little space, in particular. The high degree of prefabrication outside the construction site and the lack of time needed for drying guarantee faster construction. The great insulating properties and the thinner wall thickness make it possible to gain more living space. 
 In terms of safety, the material complies with fire safety regulations: Although wood is flammable, it has a sluggish burning behavior due to its low thermal conductivity and the charcoal layer that forms on the burning wood. Thanks to these properties, a high fire resistance can also be achieved in timber construction. Particularly in the area of public buildings such as schools, kindergartens and nursing homes, high demands are placed on fire protection. We are aware of this fact and have therefore additionally tested our fire protection sockets for cross laminated timber construction. 
 When a critical temperature is reached, the fire protection sockets react and form an insulating layer. The interior of the socket is encapsulated to a predefined extent and remains dimensionally stable in accordance with the fire resistance class. The fire protection socket maintains the sound insulation function of the wall and is guaranteed airtight thanks to the 2-component technology. Thanks to tool-free cable and pipe insertion as well as a subsequent installation, the processing is efficient.

 We are expanding our site in Saarbrücken by adding another facility. The 5000m 2  site is primarily for new offices, as well as more storage areas. So this also extends the production sites of the meter boxes and meter connection columns.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 
 The aim of expanding the site with our huge surge in growth and creation of more jobs is primarily to create a work environment that is not only modern, but also promotes innovation.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 
 We announced to increase our sales target by 24 million euros and our range currently includes 880 standard products. Every year we develop over 80 new products and present them at trade fairs, such as Light + Building, eltefa.&amp;nbsp; 
 f-tronic’s products reach tradesmen through three-level distribution. So 80% of field sales activities are devoted to giving electricians on-site advice. A small proportion of sales are accounted for by high quality contract production.&amp;nbsp; This has included, since the start of last year, the construction and production of plastic medical technical products. Our company has over 490 injection-molding tools, the biggest of which has 1,250 tonnes clamping force.&amp;nbsp; We invest about 10% of our revenues annually in machines, tools, software and infrastructure.

  Heading into a paperless future: our digital transition &amp;nbsp; 
 f-tronic ®  stands for innovation, determination and quality. We are a production company that produces 98% of all products at our Saarbrücken site to the highest quality. Correspondingly, we have invested in a new ERP system that can support and visualize challenging production processes. The introduction was carried out in stages without any friction loss. 
 For control cabinet projects, we’ve introduced new WS-CAD software that guarantees the implementation of requests and orders in no time. An online configurator for our customers should simply and correctly come up with even the most complex control cabinets in a flash. Using the latest technical connection conditions (TCC) from individual energy supply companies (ESC) ensures a high level of safety for configurator users when equipping and constructing a meter cabinet.&amp;nbsp; 
 Our production has been automated to the highest level for many years. But who looks at digital processes in administration and sales? Savings of 30-40% are possible here using digital processes and software. Our aim is to have a paperless company in the next 3 to 4 years. There are great-value professional solutions available to SMEs. Well-known solutions on the market such as ETIM, the most modern master data management system, are now in use. Furthermore, a new PIM database is being introduced that will be enormously valuable for our wealth of product data.

 Cables laid in cavity walls can fall down when insulation is inserted or when the wall is plastered. You then have to look for them. You might have to “fish” the cables out using a wire or drill into the wall, causing damage that will be costly to repair. Secure your cables into the cavity wall with our f-fix so you don’t have to go looking for cables, saving you time and money. 
 For a partition wall with planks on one side, the positions for the plugs and switches are first marked on the clean side of the wall. Before f-fix is applied, you must drill a 10mm-diameter hole in the middle of the marked positions on the plasterboard. The f-fix is screwed to the planked side and the cables are secured to the f-fix using cable ties. After the insulation has been inserted and the wall plastered, a hole is drilled through the whole wall using a special 5mm drill. The drill goes through the f-fix, preventing the drill from slipping or damaging the cables. The central bit of the core cutter is inserted into the hole, dropping the hole for the plug. A drill template can be used to add additional holes. 
 You can then easily insert the plugs.
