Durakool
Leaders of innovation
Continuous development
Today Durakool’s engineering team provide their partners technical consultation based upon extensive application knowledge and experience. After many years of development and innovation, they understand that quality is paramount and pursue a policy of continuous improvement.
Durakool continues the development of innovative relays and contactors to meet existing and forthcoming requirements within many industries. New products are introduced on a regular basis as we seek to meet customer expectations. At any given time, we have several products in development. We are growing our range of resistors and have recently added a new pre-charge/discharge range in addition to our PT Temperature sensors. Durakool is using innovative techniques to reduce package size whilst meeting increasing demands for higher voltage and higher current switching.
