Medium-voltage testing and monitoring equipment manufacturer in Germany
Horstmann manufactures short-circuit indicators, voltage testers, and earthing devices for medium-voltage applications, built on a .NET/C# stack with SQL Server and Azure cloud infrastructure. Active hiring across engineering and manufacturing signals capacity expansion, while concurrent projects in PLM system implementation, data migration, and security policy rollout indicate operational modernization — the company is wiring together disparate systems and automating test/reporting workflows that were likely manual or legacy.
