Ever since its inception in 1928 FRAKO (FRAnkfurter KOndensatorenfabrik GmbH) has maintained a technological lead.

We have operated from our site at Teningen in southwest Germany since 1932. In the early days FRAKO manufactured paper capacitors for the fledgling radio industry. We extended our product range in the late 1940s to include power capacitors.

Back in 1976 FRAKO launched the first metallized polypropylene film capacitors onto the market. In the intervening decades an immense wealth of experience has been accumulated with this low-loss MKP design.

Today this experience forms the basis for our worldwide technological lead in power capacitors.
Our specialized skills lie in understanding the complex interplay of the physical, chemical and electrical factors involved.

It is precisely this knowledge base that creates the special 'alchemy' of FRAKO capacitors: heavy-duty units with minimum failure rates, capable of serving their turn for well over a decade even in power networks seriously polluted with harmonics.

Our energy management systems can help any business to reduce its operating costs by metering, documenting and visualizing the consumption of utilities. Our instruments, systems and software optimize power consumption by providing information and responding intelligently.

A must for every up-to-date industrial or commercial facility.
