What tridelta weichferrite does

TRIDELTA Weichferrite GmbH is a German specialty manufacturer of soft magnetic ferrite materials and components, headquartered at Robert-Friese-Straße 8-10 in Hermsdorf, Thuringia. The company emerged in the 1990s from the Keramische Werke Hermsdorf (KWH, founded 1957) and has been an independent GmbH since its 2014 spin-off from the TRIDELTA corporate group, self-describing as one of the largest ferrite producers in Europe. Its product portfolio spans proprietary MnZn ferrite material grades sold under the Manifer® brand (with application-specific variants such as Mf 95, 102, 104, 108, 114, 143, 183, 193, 196/198), MFP® powder materials with integrated intergranular air gaps, and a wide catalog of finished core geometries (E, ETD, EC, ER, PM, Planar, U/I, Ring, C/Pot, RM, UR, Profile, PQ). It sells MnZn ferrite powder as a raw material and offers custom-shape manufacturing across multiple ceramic material families.

The company's commercial model is a hybrid B2B operation: standard cores and powder are sold through a direct e-commerce webshop (shop.tridelta-weichferrite.de) at small unit prices (€0.35–€52) with volume discounts, while custom designs and larger industrial volumes are handled through direct enterprise sales and technical consultation. Customers are organized around three horizontal use-case segments — power electronics (SMPS, power transformers, high-voltage transformers, storage chokes), electronic equipment (broadband/pulse transformers, interference suppression, EMC), and sensor/RF technology (inductive sensors, HF transformers, antennas, immobilizers). Distribution is direct, with documented shipping to domestic German, EU, and non-EU destinations under EXW terms.

TRIDELTA Weichferrite invests in applied materials R&D through external partnerships: the 'Satisferri' research project with Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule Jena and Fraunhofer IKTS targets novel MnZn ferrite materials and manufacturing processes, and the 'Ferri-Connect' project with Schneider Engineering Solutions focuses on automated process documentation, evaluation, control, and optimization along the ferrite manufacturing chain. The company holds DIN ISO 9001:2015 (quality) and DIN ISO 50001:2018 (energy management) certifications and is led by Managing Director Rico Wachs. In 2024, it relocated to a new manufacturing facility and launched a refreshed website and online shop.

Core offering

TRIDELTA Weichferrite GmbH manufactures soft magnetic ferrite materials (MnZn ferrites) under its proprietary Manifer® and MFP® material grades and produces shaped ferrite cores (PM, ETD, EC/ER, E/EF, Planar/EVD, U/I, Ring, RM, PQ, profile and custom shapes) plus MnZn ferrite powder for industrial customers in power electronics, transformers, inductive sensors, and EMI filtering applications.

Product overview

TRIDELTA Weichferrite GmbH is a German manufacturer of soft magnetic ferrite products, established in the 1990s from the Keramische Werke Hermsdorf, and now one of Europe's largest ferrite producers. The company operates as a physical product manufacturer rather than a software company, offering a comprehensive portfolio of MnZn-soft magnetic ferrite cores and materials. The core product lines include various core geometries (PM, ETD, EC/ER, E/EF, Planar/EVD, U/I, Ring, C/Pot, RM, UR, Profile, and Special cores) sold primarily through their online shop platform, supplemented by custom manufacturing services for specialized shapes and materials. The company's material offerings are branded under Manifer® and MFP®, with multiple material variants (Mf 95 through Mf 198A) optimized for different frequency ranges and applications including power transmission, signal processing, EMI filtering, and inductive sensing. They also supply MnZn ferrite powder for plastic-bound ferrite components. The portfolio serves applications in power electronics, interference suppression, filters, magnetic sensors, and additive manufacturing of soft magnetic components through their R&D projects.

Emerging players

• VACUUMSCHMELZE (VAC): German manufacturer of advanced magnetic materials including nanocrystalline and amorphous soft magnetic materials. Partial overlap with TRIDELTA in soft magnetic applications, but focused on higher-end ribbon/tape materials rather than ferrite cores.

Others

• TOKIN Corporation (TDK group): Within the TDK group, TOKIN supplies ferrite cores and electromagnetic components globally. Comparable on ferrite core product category and applications, but operates as part of the broader TDK ecosystem rather than as an independent specialist.
