Did you know? 🤔 When it comes to modern automobiles, cable harnesses play a crucial role. They are the intricate networks of wires and connectors that ensure the electrical systems in our vehicles function seamlessly. Despite advancements in automation, the manufacturing of cable harnesses remains a labor-intensive process. Here’s why: Cable harnesses are custom-designed for each vehicle model. They vary in size, shape, and complexity, depending on the vehicle’s electrical requirements. Each harness must fit precisely within the limited space of the car’s body, making flexibility and customization key factors in their production. Our employees at #LEONI bring their dedication to quality and precision to assemble each harness while adapting quickly to new requirements and challenges. Although the human touch remains a critical aspect of manufacturing, we aim for innovation and maximum efficiency in our production. Since 2022, the Innovation Industrialization Center (#iiC) at LEONI Kiztingen has been our think-tank to push innovation and automation. It’s where experts from all over the world collaboratively work on new solutions for our factories. This unique space provides the best environment to develop and standardize new processes and techniques.

Last month, Leoni México enthusiastically participated in the 11th "Cruzada Forestal" reforestation campaign, organized by the Mérida City Council and the Unidad de Desarrollo Sustentable. This initiative aims to plant 8,500 trees in urban areas, marking a significant step toward a greener and more sustainable future. Rubí irasema González Cortés, Lead Specialist at our production site in Mérida, shared her thoughts: "I am glad to have this experience with the #LEONI team and to see that we actively pursue the company's values of teamwork, collaboration, and environmental protection." Edgar Seleme, Head of the HSEE department in México, encouraged all employees to care for the environment within our company as well by eliminating non-value-added processes and conserving resources like paper, energy, water and reducing waste. Early in the morning, families, residents, teenagers and even pets gathered to participate in this sustainable activity in Santa Gertrudis Copó, Mérida, Yucatán. Experts provided detailed instructions and valuable insights for effective planting: from the correct depth of planting holes, using water-storing gel beads, to protecting plants with PVC pipes from herbivores. The planting activity lasted just over 2 hours, filled with joy, friendship, dedication and commitment to the environment. After a productive day, everyone celebrated with refreshing drinks and the delicious traditional dish "Cochinita," making a typical Yucatecan Sunday a meaningful experience. Kudos to our colleagues for caring for our environment and strengthening our community and workforce. #LEONI #EmpoweringConnections #Care #México #Sustainability

Did you know? 🤔 From the mid-1950s onward, cable assembly became increasingly important for LEONI. Initially serving the growing household appliance industry, wiring harnesses for cars became more and more relevant.. This led to the establishment of a separate plant for cable harness production in Kitzingen, Germany, in 1967. That plant solely concentrated on the growing business with the automotive industry, and it still does. Today, our engineers tinker there all day long to provide smart solutions for the mobility transition. How many meters of cables do you think are in a modern car's wiring harness? #LEONI #EmpoweringConnections #DidYouKnow #Kitzingen
