WIMA capacitors are manufactured on state-of-the-art production lines that meet the high standards of today’s environmental requirements, including energy and raw material consumption. Based on the state-of-the-art analytical technology and the information provided by our suppliers, we can confirm that WIMA products and production processes are free of environmentally harmful substances or that their low concentration does not require verification and is therefore not subject to the lists of banned or phased out substances.
