RIBE is a family business that can look back on a more than 100-year tradition. RIBE Electrical Fittings is one of today's leading international suppliers of electrical fittings with product teams for high-voltage overhead transmission lines, RIBE-OPTOFIT® (fittings for fibre optic cables), catenary systems and engineering.

RIBE Electrical Fittings is positioned on the market as a full supplier with a comprehensive depth of manufacturing and technology. A special corporate culture has developed from the close and open cooperation between the management team and employees, which is expressed on the market by a high degree of customer and quality orientation.

RIBE now has more than a century of experience in the development and manufacture of fittings for electrical grids. We can design our top-quality products to meet the customer's exact requirements, with guaranteed maximum flexibility and short delivery times.

RIBE always has the right solution for overhead line fittings for all types of insulator, whether composite, ceramic or glass. RIBE has registered over 300 patents for high-voltage lines alone in the past two decades (overhead line fittings for insulator strings and conductor cables, spacers, vibration dampers, helical fittings, interphase spacers, bird flight diverters, fittings for lines).

We have manufactured helical fittings since the start of the 60's. We started developing and adapting helical fittings to the special needs of fiber optic overhead cables as soon as optical fibre aerial cables first appeared at the end of the 70's. RIBE-OPTOFIT® fittings are specially designed with the pressure sensitivity of optical fibers in mind.

Our sophisticated damping concepts prevent damage to overhead cables and operational faults caused by wind-induced vibrations and ensure a long life for both the fiber optic cables and the vibration dampers.
The RIBE-OPTOFIT® system has been extensively tested together with the appropriate fiber optic overhead cables in the company-owned, certified laboratory and has proved its reliability in decades of field operation

RIBE is a system provider for catenary fittings, who provides application engineering support and many services ranging from planning and product development to finished production.

We introduced numerously redevelopments onto the market, e.g. the tension wheel with integrated cable brake and also the parallelogram-type steady-arm, which permits the construction of the cantilever without a registration tube.

Our customers include railway companies, construction contractors, general contractors, consulting agencies and companies from industry.
