LAPP
EIGHT BRANDS, ONE PROMISE: UNCOMPROMISED QUALITY
LAPP was founded in 1957 by Oskar Lapp with the ÖLFLEX® brand, which was the first industrially produced signal cable in the world. Since then, LAPP has been recognized as a global leader in the manufacturing and branding of wire, cable, cable handling systems, cable harnessing, industrial connectors, and cable accessories.
As an Authorized Premier Partner Distributor and subsidiary of LAPP, LAPP Tannehill distributes; all of LAPP's 40,000+ wire, cable, and connectivity products, has access to LAPP's quality and engineering teams, and stocks LAPP's most popular products to serve you better.
ÖLFLEX®, UNITRONIC®, HITRONIC®, ETHERLINE®, SKINTOP®, EPIC®, SILVYN®, and FLEXIMARK® are LAPP's eight brands, offering a wide range of products for applications in industries such as automation, wind and energy, automotive, food and beverage, robotics, oil and gas, machinery building and many more.
LAPP brands are some of the best in the cable technology field and have earned an outstanding reputation as a premium brand. They stand for the values which LAPP and our customers consider paramount: quality, precision, and reliability.

LAPP Center for Competence and Testing
The LAPP Center for Competence and Testing is a key asset in the development of industry-leading and innovative solutions for our customers. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. completed an assessment of the Florham Park, New Jersey facility for the UL Data Acceptance Program as a UL Client Data Program laboratory. This means the equipment and test methods have been certified to precisely meet the same requirements as at UL test facilities.
Quality Management Testing Methods
Explore LAPP's test methods below to learn about what each test entails.
Mechanical Testing
To evaluate physical and mechanical properties of LAPP cable to ensure that these products retain critical qualification values of tensile strength & elongation, crush resistance, and impact resistance.
- Exposed Run Impact: UL 1277
- Direct Burial & Crush: UL 1277
- Tensile & Elongation: UL 1581, ASTM D-412
Low-Temperature Testing
Evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of LAPP cable to ensure that they retain critical low-temp qualification values of impact resistance when subjected to free-fall force.
- Cold impact: UL 1581, UL 1277
- Cold bend: UL 444, UL 1581, UL 1277
Flexing Testing
To evaluate continuous motion properties of LAPP cable to ensure that these products retain critical operating performance characteristics when subjected to severe flexing cycle conditions experienced in power chain applications.
- Torsion and continuous flex testing: LAPP Continuous Flex Test Method UL A522492
Flame Testing
To evaluate flame resistance characteristics of LAPP wire and cable and ensure that the products do not propagate flame or spread burning particles within the specified application.
- Extreme temperature and flammability: UL 1581, UL-VW1, UL Horizontal Flame
Environmental Testing
To evaluate physical and chemical properties of LAPP wire and cable and ensure that these products retain critical qualification values of tensile strength and elongation after being exposed to accelerated environmental conditions.
- Aging and oil resistance testing: UL 62, UL 1581
Electrical Testing
To evaluate electrical properties of LAPP wire and ensure that these products retain critical insulation resistance qualification values when subjected to wet high-temperature conditions and high voltage conditions.
- Insulation Resistance: UL 83, UL 1581
- DC Resistance: UL 1581
Material Construction Testing
Ensure RoHs, WEEE, and REACH compliance, examine the physical and design properties of the cable.
- RoHS, WEEE, and Video Microscope: UL 1581
