Company Profile

Established in 1969 as a single proprietary company, originally dedicated to promote advanced technology products in the European market. Most of those products had been originated in the beginning from the U.S.A.

Mr. Spirig holds a MSEE degree (Dipl. Ing. ETH) in electronic and electric engineering from the Swiss Institute of Technology in Zuerich. He is also author of one of the first German written books on "Microelectronics", still used today as an assistant textbook/introduction into semiconductor technology.

The company is today (2001) still fully and privately owned by Mr. Ernest Spirig. There are no turn-over or employment figures released to the public. Spirig owns fully distributing and manufacturing companies in the U.S.A. (Mass.) and in the U.K. (Surrey).

Mr. Spirig has invented and owns today (2001) more than 100 patents in various countries worldwide on varied technologies, which can be divided into:

a) electrolysis-apparatus and -system.

b) clean-room particle shielding technologies
    (semiconductor, pharmaceutical, atomic plants).

c) electronic signal processing for alarm systems.

d) temperature recording-methods and -materials.

e) de-soldering, -tools, -methods and -material for the     electronic/electric industries.

Various technologies and patents are in full use under production and other licences. Certain products based on these technologies do have a sizeable world-market share.
