About Kontron

Kontron was founded in 1959 by Branco Weiss, marking the beginning of a journey into the world of embedded computing technology. The company, headquartered in Linz, Austria, has established itself as a key player in the development of embedded computer systems and solutions for a variety of industries, including telecommunications, industrial automation, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Over the decades, Kontron has grown through strategic acquisitions and partnerships, enhancing its capabilities and expanding its market reach. A significant milestone in its history was the acquisition of a majority stake in Katek SE in 2024, which bolstered its position in the IoT market. This move was part of Kontron's broader strategy to lead in the Industry 4.0 revolution, providing cutting-edge solutions that integrate seamlessly into modern industrial environments.

Kontron's journey has been marked by its commitment to innovation and quality, consistently delivering products that meet the evolving needs of its clients. The company has also been supported by significant investments, including funding from Warburg Pincus, which has enabled it to pursue its growth and development objectives.

Today, Kontron stands as a testament to the enduring vision of its founder, Branco Weiss, continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible in embedded computing technology. Its story is one of adaptation and foresight, navigating the challenges of a rapidly changing technological landscape while maintaining a focus on delivering value to its customers worldwide.
