Hirtenberger Automotive Safety develops and manufactures pyrotechnic safety products for the automotive industry to protect vehicle occupants, pedestrians and first responders in case of an accident. Where actions need to be performed or triggered in milliseconds, pyrotechnics are often the only way to deploy enough energy in the available time. That is where we come in. Our customers are vehicle manufacturers (OEM) and Tier 1 suppliers all over the world. The circuit breakers in our EV safety switch product line will disconnect the power train from the battery system to provide fire protection and a safe vehicle condition.  Our circuit closers provide a secure and irreversible electrical connection to short a load circuit or discharge a capacitor.
