A story of steady growth - Information on our company history

 

1978
Foundation of the company Elektronik Service - Christoph Dichte. In the first years the company produced components for AEG, KEHA, Philips and Siemens.

1984
The legendary floppy accelerator "Speed DOS" for the former Commodore C64 series was manufactured and distributed in our company.
This was followed by the production of relay boards PO 32/RU and PO 32/OU (opto-couplers) for dosing systems. Subsequently we took over the complete production of PO 20 digital printers, including material procurement.

1985
The establishment of a specialist representation for Philips audio video systems led to a significant expansion of the company's product range.
Our most spectacular project in this context was the installation of a discussion and interpreting system with a total of 1000 (!) microphone units in the Karlsruhe Congress Centre.

1986
Elektronik Service - Christoph Dichte now manufactured assemblies for customers in the fields of medical, sun protection, core and building control technology.

1990
Thanks to the good order situation, the production area was increased from 140 to 240 sqm.

1995
In view of the advancing miniaturization in the field of component production, the production facility was expanded to include an SMD assembly line from Siemens.
Due to the increased space requirement of the SMD production, an additional 560 square meters of production space were rented.

2006
The company Elektronik Service - Christoph Dichte has reached a production area of approx. 1200 sqm.
