Company History

It all began in the legendary garage on 1 July 1964. In that time, in which terms such as transistor, electronics and automation were to a large extent still unknown, the company Industrieelektronik Dr. – Ing. Walter Klaschka was founded as one-man-enterprise in Neckarrems near Stuttgart.

During his studies of Communications Engineering (1954 – 59), the company owner gained important experiences with the new germanium transistor. Circuits and devices were developed for industrial applications as well as the first controllers (1956: controller for grinding machine with inductive sensors for the end position recognition, 1958: controller for round cord machines, the first "electronic" spinner washing machine made by the Gebrueder Scharpf, Zuffenhausen, Germany).

In October 1959 Dr. Walter Klaschka, at that time being the youngest assistant at the University Chair of Prof. Dosse at Stuttgart University, developed the first inductive proximity switch according to the oscillator principle. Numerous developments of controllers and monitoring devices, particularly for the automotive industry and its suppliers, followed. In 1974 the first programmable controller was developed.
