We demand, of ourselves and our products, the constant delivery of exceptional quality, self improvement and customer satisfaction. That is why we are so conscious of our responsibility to people and the environment. You can be sure that we are always ensuring the highest quality in working processes (ISO 9001), that we take care to take measures to save energy and preserve the environment, and that we will always maintain the highest standards of occupational health and safety (ISO 14001).
The company is founded in Nuremberg and registers its first Patent (Device A1). It produces Stator and armature testers, motor testers and battery ignition coils.
PRUFREX moves house to the Egersdorf municipality, today's Cadolzburg, near Nuremberg. The company delivers to approx. 60 countries worldwide, the export ratio is approximately 70% of the total production.
A further PRUFREX site is opened in Velburg/Oberpfalz In the new location, the first fully automated potting plant is installed and SMD technology is introduced.
PRUFREX develops its first digital ignition system with ASIC design. In 1995, the development of the first embedded micro-controller follows.
The first fully automated production line comes into operation in the Velburg site. Subsequently, the development of the Velburg plant continues.
With the foundation of PRUFREX USA, PRUFREX begins its activities in the United States. On the 10th of October 2014 the new PRUFREX facility is opened in Virginia Beach (VA).
Impressive confirmation of the value of the PRUFREX automation strategy: The 10,000,000th IPI® ignition module comes off the PX1 production line in Velburg.
With product life and development cycles getting shorter, planning for our next generation of products is becoming increasingly complicated. We have recognised that we have to work today with the leading product developers in all sectors.
That way we can ensure that our products are where they are needed at the right time. That is why we want to combine the power of our suppliers with our own strengths. That's why we, as an international technology leader, are looking for the best supplier companies throughout the world.
