We were able to hop on a call with Spradow, our test point manufacturer, to learn all about their quality testing processes. During this call, we also got to discuss their deep history. It goes like this...
Their roots go back to the early 20th century when, in 1913, a fittings and metal foundry company was focused on heating and control technology.
Then, in 1966, the Wittler family founded a company that manufactured special-purpose machine systems, including bar feeders, as well as feeding and processing machines.
It all began in 1913 with the founding of the "Hermann Wittler Fittings Factory and Metal Foundry" in Bielefeld. At that time, the company was initially focused on heating and control technology.
Their core business, the high-quality production of hydraulic system measuring accessories, has been operating since the early 1980s.
In 1995, the company moved its main operations and in 2002, the company, "Spradow GmbH & Co. KG" was finally named and founded. In June 2019, Spradow was acquired by Frank Windel.
Today, Spradow continues to offer high-quality test points with many layers of safety and quality assurance from R&D all the way to shipment.
