widap group – Your Partner for Power Resistors, Load Banks, and Film Capacitors

6 May 2025

For more than 45 years, widap group has stood for innovation, quality and reliability in the field of passive components. With a strong presence across four European locations, we specialize in the development, production and distribution of high-quality power resistors, load banks and film capacitors.

From compact 5 W resistors to high-performance 100 kW resistors and load banks designed for outputs up to the megawatt range, our extensive product portfolio reflects our deep industry knowledge and commitment to excellence. At the heart of our operations is the development of customer-specific design-in system solutions—such as resistor assemblies or load banks—crafted in close collaboration with our clients to meet their exacting technical and performance requirements.

A Strong European Network

widap group is composed of four specialized companies, each bringing unique expertise and value to our collective capabilities:

  • Widap AG (Switzerland – Headquarters): Development and production of power resistors and load banks.
  • widap electronic components GmbH & Co. KG (Germany): Technical sales and distribution across the European market.
  • S.I.R. Srl Società Italiana Resistor (Italy): Development and production of high-quality power resistors.
  • ICEL Srl (Italy): Development and production of premium film capacitors.

Strategic Growth with ICEL Srl

A significant milestone in our company’s evolution was the acquisition of ICEL Srl in 2024. This strategic expansion strengthens our presence in the passive component sector and broadens our product offering, enabling us to serve our customers with an even wider selection of top-tier solutions. The integration of ICEL’s expertise in film capacitors with our longstanding competencies in power resistors creates valuable synergies. These synergies pave the way for innovative, future-oriented product developments and open new doors for customer-specific applications across diverse industries.
