Kontron: Smart IoT solutions for networked technologies
The KATEK Group is a leading electronics service provider in Europe and has been part of Kontron AG since March 2024. The company offers a comprehensive range of services along the entire value chain, from development, prototyping and series production to after-sales services. KATEK serves key industries such as medical technology, electromobility, renewable energies, mechanical engineering and aviation. With locations in Germany, Eastern Europe, North America and Asia, the Group employs around 3,700 people and relies on a "local-to-local" approach to ensure customer proximity and facilitate access to the global market.
Kontron: From electronics service provider to leading ODM partner
Kontron has evolved from a pure electronics service provider to an Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) partner that supplies complete IoT solutions. The portfolio ranges from sensors and connectivity to control units. By taking over Katek, an electronics service provider that has grown considerably through mergers and acquisitions, Kontron has expanded its expertise in design and development. This strategic realignment enables Kontron not only to produce products, but also to contribute its own developments to the partnerships and scale them globally.
Efficiency through partnership and specialization
In an increasingly complex and crowded market environment, Kontron offers decisive advantages as a partner for companies. Many companies are faced with the challenge of ensuring the production of physical devices in addition to the development of systems and software. This is where Kontron steps in to take the burden off customers' shoulders with specialized services and a comprehensive product portfolio. This approach makes companies more strategically flexible, improves their ability to react to market changes and strengthens their competitiveness.
Innovative strength and stability in uncertain times
The uncertain economic situation requires partners who offer companies not only stability but also innovative strength. Kontron takes on this role by supporting customers with specialized solutions that offer both strategic and operational advantages. Through its own development department, Kontron delivers innovative products that meet end customer requirements and allow companies to focus on their core competencies. This strengthens the market position and ensures long-term stability, especially in Europe, where Kontron plays a leading role.
