igus has developed the E4Q energy chain for safe cable routing with unsupported and long travel distances. To make it even easier to fill cables, igus is now launching a new internal layout for the E4Q.

Interroll was able to maintain the good result of the previous year in the 2020 financial year: although net sales fell to CHF 530.6 million (-5.2% compared to the previous year, +0.9% in local currencies) due to the strong Swiss franc, order intake increased to CHF 547.8 million
