With new display sizes (4.3" to 12.3") and modern processor technology, the GSt-A series sets new standards. Functions such as AI-controlled workspace monitoring and an innovative tactile display keypad optimise the operation of mobile machines. In October, Steffen Dieterle takes over the management of the company alongside Jürgen Müller.
Graf-Syteco presents new devices with non-reflective displays for optimum readability, even in direct sunlight. Robust aluminium housings make them ideal for indoor and outdoor use. The series stand for efficiency, safety and fulfil the highest customer demands in terms of quality and functionality.
Graf-Syteco launches the innovative GSe software concept with the VISU, CTRL, OS and CON brands. At the same time, Jürgen E. Müller, together with Fabian and David Graf, becomes a new partner. The change in management ensures continuity and emphasises the pursuit of technological and qualitative excellence.
Graf-Syteco moves into a modern low-energy building with a solar façade and welcomes Jürgen E. Müller as Managing Director. New 7-inch operating devices for construction machinery and commercial vehicles go into large-scale production. ISO certification in 2016 strengthens the company's market position and emphasises its commitment to quality and innovation.
Graf-Syteco is expanding its portfolio with high-resolution displays (3.5-7 inches) and programmable keyboards from the K-Series, which perform control functions. The planned new building is intended to meet the growing requirements, while the possible expansion of the management team will drive forward the transformation of the company.
Fabian and David Graf take over the company during the financial crisis and master restructuring and personnel changes. Despite difficult times, they invest in innovations and achieve profits in 2009 with 45 employees. The introduction of the MCQ device series (4.3"-10.4") marks a technological advance.
With a turnover of 6.6 million euros and 13% growth in three years, Graf-Syteco grows into a medium-sized company. Company founder Martin Graf initiates a strategic realignment to optimise processes. At the same time, Fabian Graf joins the team as a software developer, further strengthening the company's innovative power.
Graf-Syteco expands into China and successfully masters the challenge of Chinese characters. With commitment and adaptability, the company opens up new markets, demonstrates cultural sensitivity and emphasises its claim to always deliver customer-oriented solutions.
The AT device series with powerful processors impresses with its robustness and sets new standards in mobile working machines. Due to the growing success, the company building is expanded, increasing the commercial space to 1000 m² - an important step for further growth.
Graf-Syteco develops its own application software and links text displays with the CANBUS system, establishing its first contacts with the construction machinery industry. With well-known customers such as Kardex, Putzmeister and Ziegler and a successful expansion in the vehicle sector, the company reaches a turnover target of DM 2.5 million at the end of the 1990s.
Recognising the need for further development, Martin Graf changes the company name from Graf Zählelektronik to Graf-Syteco to reflect the expanded service portfolio. With this step, the company faces up to the new challenges of the future and demonstrates creative innovative strength.
Martin Graf, as an aspiring entrepreneur, actively looks for cooperation partners and takes part in trade fairs such as the Hannover Messe and SPS Nuremberg together with Wachendorf. This is where the innovative idea of developing text displays for OEM customers and connecting them to the CANBUS system is born, marking the next milestone for Graf-Syteco.
In 1986, Martin Graf's basement reached its limits, necessitating a move to a four-storey industrial building. After successful negotiations, the building was renovated and in 1987 the company moved to the new premises, which now provided space for the five-strong workforce and enabled further growth.
At the age of 40, Martin Graf founds the company Graf Zähllektronik and develops an electronic operating and quantity counter in the basement of his home. The new, screwless housing is particularly innovative and sets the company apart from the competition. At the same time, he was concerned with the efficient manufacture of his products.
