HEINE Resistors GmbH

It all started in 1904, when master mechanic Oscar Heine founded a company to manufacture arc smoothing resistors. However, shortly afterwards, the company had already become far more than the main supplier for the Dresden-based cinema equipment industry (the world leaders at the time), to the most significant German manufacturer of special resistors.

In the post-war years, this tradition was continued, bringing about a further milestone in HEINE's history.

Oscar HEINE KG was finally nationalised in 1972 as one of the most important special resistor manufacturers in Eastern Europe. Reprivatisation and with that, the entry in the trade register as HEINE Spezialwiderstände GmbH was implemented in 1990, a year which was so important for Europe.

As part of the internationalisation process, the medium-sized company was renamed HEINE Resistors GmbH in 2003. But that is not enough. In order to meet international demand better, our wholly-owned subsidiary HEINE Resistors (Suzhou) Co, Ltd. China has represented us in Asia since the end of 2005.

We have also established ourselves as one of the leading providers of power resistors through our headquarters in Dresden, Saxony's state capital, which has excellent infrastructure connections. We provide top quality products at short notice - worldwide!
