The course of time

1985

First SMD machine in NRW

Since 1985, we at a.p. microelectronic have been following the path of innovation. At a time when SMD technology was still in its infancy, we decided to be one of the first companies to integrate SMD technology. To realise this goal, we invested in an SMD placement machine from Siemens. (MS-72)

The event was publicised with an article in the local newspaper under the motto ‘Future technology is also at home in Minden’.

1989

‘Electronica’ Munich

A look back in history: 35 years ago, in 1989, a.p. microelectronic took part in the innovative ‘Electronica’ trade fair in Munich for the first time.

Also in the following years, it was important for us to present our services and technologies to a broad international audience and to establish valuable contacts. This has always helped us to deepen our know-how and expand our expertise.
