People make igus what it is today. Not just the employees but the customers as well. In order to illustrate the igus philosophy and make it easier to internalise, Frank Blase developed the igus "solar system", which visually represents the corporate structure of igus GmbH. It includes everyone and everything: teams, team leaders, managers and executives, and also the customer as the vital centrepoint of the company's existence. After all, it is the customer who, like the sun, is a source of energy. Everything acts together within a system oriented to the rules of chaos – and is guaranteed not to be static.

1986 - Development of the first energy tube on the market.

More protection for cables.
Wherever wood is planed, there is always a lot of chippings and dust. In more and more branches of industry, e-chains are successfully protecting cables against the many stresses that movement involves. The R68 energy tube was developed in order to be able to offer a cable-friendly system to the woodworking and material-transportation industry as well. Thanks to its enclosed design, the best possible protection can be provided for cables in rough environments. Moreover, it makes installation easy.
