Development Engineer Medium Voltage

BBC Cellpack was founded in 1935 in Vilmergen, Switzerland, as a successor to Dreifuss Brothers AG.

Originally focused on cellophane packaging, the company quickly evolved through the pioneering spirit of the Dreifuss brothers, who recognized the potential of new materials and developed high-quality industrial goods. This innovative mindset laid the foundation for decades of progress

With the launch of Cellpack GmbH in Waldshut-Tiengen in 1967, the company expanded into fibre-reinforced plastics and cable technologies, serving the European market with increasing strength.

Continuous growth led to new production sites in Tiengen and Radeberg, supported by a global network of offices. Since 2003, as part of the BBC Group, BBC Cellpack Electrical Products has thrived under agile leadership - employing around 300 people and delivering trusted solutions worldwide.
