On Saturday, ahead of “wire 2026” nearly 300 international guests gathered in Schwabach amid spring-like temperatures and bright sunshine to celebrate with Niehoff.

This perfectly organized event attracted an impressive guest list, including some of the industry’s most prominent figures, as well as representatives from all Niehoff subsidiaries and agencies worldwide.

In a relaxed yet festive atmosphere, Managing Director Bernd Lohmüller – who has been part of the Niehoff family for 38 years – welcomed guests who traveled from 45 countries to attend the celebration.

In his speech, Lohmüller spoke about company founder Walter Niehoff, who started small but whose vision has become a reality. Today, Niehoff employs 1,300 people worldwide, and cables are the lifelines of the modern world. Cables are indispensable for energy generation and distribution at low, medium, and high voltage, whether the energy is renewable or conventional. They are used in the wiring of cars with internal combustion engines, electric vehicles, and charging stations, as well as massive data centers that power AI. Wherever energy flows and data is transmitted, cables and Niehoff machines play a key role. The managing director emphasized that Niehoff’s goal has remained the same for 75 years: to serve customers to the best of its ability. “Niehoff fulfills this commitment with technical expertise, a strong customer focus, and global support and service – and will continue to do so in the future”, said Bernd Lohmüller.

The interesting and entertaining speeches by keynote speakers from the ranks of the most important international wire and cable manufacturers all conveyed a similar message. Decades-long business relationships with Niehoff are characterized by trust and reliability. The speakers emphasized that Niehoff is the technology leader with "the best machines in the world" and praised their reliability and durability.

After the festive meal, guests embarked on an elaborately designed journey through Niehoff´s past, present, and future as part of a tour of the Niehoff plant. At numerous information booths, Niehoff provided details about the most important machines built in Schwabach, as well as modernizations and services. In a specially designed area, all Niehoff branches worldwide presented themselves, and a fascinating holographic show depicted the company’s journey from the past to a visionary future. The guests responded enthusiastically, showing great interest.

At the event's conclusion, Bernd Lohmüller bid farewell to the international guests, assuring them that Niehoff would remain a reliable and innovative partner to the wire and cable industry in the future.
