DAU Heatsinks is an internationally recognized development partner and supplier of thermal solutions. We have been developing and producing complex cooling solutions for various sectors and industries for over 50 years. Starting from the Austrian company site in Ligist and a further production site in Slovenia, we drive new technologies and technical solutions for the cooling of components worldwide.
In addition, as part of the Power Electronics Group, we are embedded in the Miba Group - a globally operating company with 31 sites and more than 7,000 employees.
Personal drive - common goal: At DAU Heatsinks, we develop and produce innovations and technologies for the future together with our customers. In doing so, we get the world moving in a more sustainable way. At a place where freedom is a matter of course and performance is valued.
We continuously offer exciting jobs in different areas such as production, logistics, technology / sales and administration.
Get in touch with us.
Our water coolers are used to dissipate heat from specific power semiconductors, minimizing power dissipation during operation and protecting your power electronics from temperature and failure.
Whether profile solutions or specific bonded-fin heat sinks - together we will find the right solution for your product.
Our heatpipes provide optimal cooling by forced or natural convection - from standard cylindrical designs to customized heatpipe assemblies.
Contact us, we will be happy to answer your open questions.
At DAU Heatsinks, we take a solution-oriented approach, based on the individual requirements of our customers.
We are experts in producing a wide range of cooling solutions for a variety of different applications. Our customers rely on decades of experience in the design and simulation of cooling solutions and the performance of long-term tests. In addition, we draw on the extensive know-how from the Miba network, for example for material analysis. It all adds up to the optimum result for each specific customer requirement.
Our customers benefit from top experts all sitting at the same table. This means:
Our goal is to provide our customers with optimal solutions based on in-depth know-how and process knowledge in order to make costs as efficient as possible. Based on the simulation for your application, the thermal behavior as well as the optimal dimension of the heat sink can be calculated accurately. In addition, the validation process is shortened: In the test lab, we calculate and simulate in advance what will be worked out and finally validated later.
Our DAU Solution Team consists of experts with many years of experience: product engineers, design engineers and simulation experts accompany you through the entire product development process together with the respective key account manager. The team works closely together. This results in a valuable transfer of knowledge, from which our customers particularly benefit.
We will be happy to advise you from the very beginning.

Mechanical processing, joining technology and assembly from a single source.
For mechanical processing (milling, drilling, grinding), we at DAU rely on state-of-the-art processing machines. The result is heat sinks with high precision - especially with regard to evenness and surface finish.
The joining of individual parts represents a decisive step in the production of assemblies and prototypes. Depending on the application, the appropriate joining technology - vacuum brazing, hard soldering, soft soldering, press-fitting, adhesive bonding or friction stir welding - is used.
Assembly of high power resistors, e.g. iUXP intelligent resistors from sister company EBG.
Fans, connections for cooling media, blowers as well as sheet metal attachments.
Efficient manufacturing of components increases their service life. That's why at DAU, in addition to conventional methods, we work with the latest joining technology, such as vacuum brazing, in the development and production of cooling solutions
Vacuum brazing enables the combination of different material pairings and allows a higher degree of freedom in the design. This technique is particularly suitable for developing a heat sink for complicated component geometries: it brings advantages due to a large-area connection. It also leads to higher strength and reduces distortion due to the low thermal stress in the joining process.
This allows components to be joined in areas that are no longer accessible after assembly. For example, in this way, complex channel geometries can be realized inside a water heat sink, ensuring outstanding thermal efficiency.
We advise you considering the entire development process.
