Bender means active damage prevention in On- and Offshore applications of oil and gas production. The efficient, safe and environmentally-compatible extraction and processing of these raw materials is regarded as extremely important in the oil and gas industry. Flammable gases, liquids and vapours obviously have to be expected here, meaning that there may also be an increased fire hazard. This places tough demands on electrical safety, and not just with reference to the production process.

Bender is also known for the preventive monitoring of marine propulsion systems and on-board systems ... and offers extensive know-how on and solutions for every aspect of reliable power supplies for all maritime applications on the open sea and in inshore waters - from ships and submarines in the civilian and military sectors, to offshore facilities, and on to crane and container systems.
