SCHURTER, a global Swiss company specializing in circuit protection, connectors, EMC products, switches, supercapacitors, and HMI, has recently announced the successful completion of its acquisition of majority stake in Biaodi, a China-based company recognized as a major developer of high‑voltage circuit protection solutions for electric vehicles and new energy applications.

Lars Brickenkamp, CEO of SCHURTER, says:
“I am extremely pleased to welcome Biaodi to the SCHURTER Group. With Biaodi, we are bringing on board a partner that strongly aligns with our company culture and values. Biaodi fills key gaps in our circuit protection portfolio, enabling faster growth in our core markets and targeted applications, including energy, data centers, and mobility. By leveraging our global organization, we can scale this business and accelerate Biaodi’s success beyond China.”

Biaodi’s product portfolio significantly expands SCHURTER’s high‑voltage offering and includes:

  • Fuses for EV onboard mobility applications
