We set out to make a difference. That has not changed.
1986 was a year of upheaval. Portugal and Spain joined the European Community, Mikhail Gorbachev campaigned for disarmament and greater freedom of speech, Voyager 2 passed Uranus, the core module of the Mir space station reached orbit, and the domain “.de” was registered. That same year the space shuttle Challenger broke apart, and a nuclear power plant in Ukraine suffered a catastrophic failure.
In the middle of this simultaneity of departure and disaster, a company began to take shape in Bavaria — built on a sober insight: ever since the beginnings of electrical engineering, everything has depended on circuits, capacitors, transistors and processors.
Without these components machines would stand still, communication would be impossible and a look into the solar system unthinkable. That is one side of it. The other is known to anyone who read the news in 1986.
Out of this twofold realisation grew a stance: to use components in a way that reconciles value creation with the environment — and to look closely wherever origin and quality are unclear. That is why an in-house analysis laboratory is part of the company today.
Testing follows international standards and is documented so that it can be retraced. Not because a certificate demands it, but because a counterfeit component inside a machine puts people at risk.
An eventful year as the starting point
In the year of glasnost and perestroika, of Voyager 2 passing Uranus and of the domain “.de” being registered — but also of Challenger and Chernobyl — a company began to take shape in a quiet region at the heart of Europe, determined to make a difference.
Since the beginnings of electrical engineering, nothing runs without circuits, capacitors, transistors and processors. Without them machines would stand still, communication would be impossible, a look into the solar system unthinkable. That dependency was the basis of the business — and is today the reason behind every test.
What began as distribution has become a network: procurement, consignment, supply chain analysis — and an in-house analysis laboratory that tests components to AS6171 and AS6081. An instinct for hidden potential remains the common thread.
Together, hand in hand
More than seven billion people populate this planet. Every one of them is an individual: they have dreams, they strive for a life of dignity, they need functioning healthcare, and they long for security and peace. The digital revolution is the work of visionaries — and it turns the world into an ocean of cultures, languages and traditions flowing into one another.
Especially to those who live with a disability and are nonetheless outstanding engineers or managers.
Regardless of gender or sexual orientation. What counts is how good someone is at their work.
Differing points of view are not a side issue but the source of creativity and fresh ideas.
Balance between the environment and value creation — for a planet that can be passed on intact.
People, not job titles
Management, laboratory, sales and logistics work on the same questions — simply from different directions.
