The success story of ELATEC began in 1988 with the distribution of electronic components. Continuous innovation and agility were the driving forces in our growth. Over the years, we solidified our core competencies and strategically refined our business segments: certain parts of the company fell away, and others were built up.
We turned our focus to RFID readers, which we design, manufacture and sell.
