About |
In our 20 years of operations, PHYTEC has earned a reputation for high quality design and production of OEM-able Single Board Computer (SBCs) subassemblies and Rapid Development Kits that accelerate microcontroller-based embedded developments. Founded in 1986 by Karl Neubecker, PHYTEC remains a majority family-owned enterprise, with minority ownership shares held by the managers of our operational divisions.
In 1996 PHYTEC America LLC was established on Bainbridge Island, near Seattle, thus making PHYTEC products and technical expertise readily available to the embedded community in the United States and Canada. In the past decade, PHYTEC has evolved its primary product offering from dedicated Evalboards and Starter Kits to modular "evaluation-to-production" SBC subassemblies and Rapid Development Kits
With no debt or external financing, PHYTEC has funded our continued growth and expanding international presence through operations. 2001 saw the inauguration of our in-house, automated SMT production facility at PHYTEC Messtechnik. 2001 also marked the start of PHYTEC America’s semi-exclusive North American distributorship of PCAN hardware and software products from the German company PEAK-System Technik GmbH. In recent years, we have evolved from 8- and 16-bit to advanced 32-bit processor support in our phyCORE family of Single Board Computer subassemblies.
As of 2006, the PHYTEC Technologie Holding AG has grown to more than 80 employees, of which over 40% are engineers. In addition to our off-the-shelf SBC modules and kits, PHYTEC offers newly-expanded Integrated Supported Services to assist in implementing our Single Board Computer subassemblies into OEM target applications. With two decades of experience in design and assembly, our in-house design and production enables us to offer cost-effective customized production runs for all lot sizes, including smaller quantities.
