ATEX
Choose the right components for your ATEX environment
At Thiim, we have a strong focus on delivering ATEX solutions that cover the needs of both zone 1/2 and zone 21/22 - also known as gas zones and dust zones.
We offer components and industrial IT solutions that are properly certified for use in these classified areas.
ATEX solutions for safe installations in hazardous areas
ATEX covers requirements and certifications for equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres where gases, vapours or dust can pose a risk.
In these environments, properly approved equipment is crucial for personal safety, operation and regulatory compliance. Therefore, special requirements are placed on components, installation and documentation.
We offer a wide range of ATEX solutions for industrial environments. From classic electrical components to products for industrial IT infrastructure, both power and data solutions can be established correctly in zones with ATEX certification requirements.
We work with specialised suppliers and help you find the right solution for your specific application.

Customised ATEX junction boxes for your application
For us, ATEX solutions are not just about certification. It's about delivering a solution that precisely fits the installation, environment and technical requirements.
That's why we offer extensive options for customised junction boxes and terminal boxes for hazardous areas.
Why are customised solutions important in ATEX?
In potentially explosive atmospheres, no two installations are alike.
Factors such as temperature, humidity, dust, chemicals, vibrations and space conditions place different demands on the installation.
A customised junction box therefore ensures:
- Higher reliability
- Easier installation and maintenance
- Optimal safety in ATEX zones
- Better integration into existing facilities
- Reduced risk of failure and downtime
- A solution that meets both technical and regulatory requirements
We help you put together the right solution
- Whether you need a simple terminal box or a complete customised ATEX control or junction box.
