About TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH

TWK-ELEKTRONIK is a family-run German sensor manufacturer based in Düsseldorf, founded in 1962 and now in its third generation, that develops and produces sensors to convert rotary, linear, inclination and vibration movements into electrical measured values. Its core range is rotary encoders — incremental and absolute devices in many housing forms and interfaces — complemented by inclination sensors using MEMS technology, linear position transducers and probes, vibration sensors, electronic cam switches, rotor hub sensors for safe speed measurement, and draw-wire sensors for lengths up to 60 metres, plus electrical and mechanical accessories. TWK positions its special discipline as sensors with functional safety for applications in sensitive hazardous areas, where reliable measurement protects plant, machines and people, and it supports this with in-house development, production and continuous training of its own junior staff.

A second site at Wedel near Hamburg is listed alongside Düsseldorf in its careers pages. Customers use TWK sensors worldwide in industrial plant and machinery where position, angle, tilt or vibration must be measured dependably, including safety-related applications. For directory partners, TWK is a mid-sized, owner-managed encoder and sensor specialist for machine builders that need robust, often safety-rated rotary and inclination measurement with direct engineering support from the manufacturer.

Questions partners ask

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	8 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	9 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
