Kapsch
The Kapsch Group, headquartered in Vienna, Austria, is an international corporation specializing in telematics, information technology and telecommunication.
In September 1892, Johann Kapsch (1845–1921) founded a precision engineering workshop in Vienna, with the state-owned and operated Post- und Telegraphenverwaltung (Mailing- and Telegraph-Administration) among its first clients. In 1916, the company changed its name to Telefon- und Telegrafen-Fabriks-Aktiengesellschaft Kapsch & Söhne in Wien ("Telephone and Telegraph Manufacturing Stock Company Kapsch & Sons in Vienna"). During World War I, the company produced night sights for the Austrian Model 1895 rifle and carbine. With the growing number of inventions, Kapsch expanded its product range by adding the manufacturing of capacitors, tin tubes and dry batteries. In 1923, Kapsch started to manufacture radios, with the first TV sets following in 1955. After the Second World War, Kapsch was heavily involved in rebuilding the Austrian telephone network.
In 1978, the company focused on digital communications systems. This was followed by the entry into the mobile phones market in 1985. That same year, Kapsch was involved in the introduction of the digital telephone infrastructure in Austria and Hungary.
Between 1989 and 1999, the company founded international subsidiaries and representations in Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia, Slovenia, and Croatia.
In 1994, Europe's trains were equipped with train radio systems by Kapsch. In 1995, Austria's EcoPoint System was implemented.
In 2000, the company acquired traffic control technology from Bosch and Saab and founded subsidiaries and interests in Asia, Australia, South America and South Africa, followed by the acquisition of Schrack BusinessCom a year later.
In 2002, the Kapsch Group was into three business areas, namely Kapsch BusinessCom AG, Kapsch CarrierCom AG and Kapsch TrafficCom AG. The latter implements the electronic toll collection system based on microwave technology in Austria in 2003. A year later, the commercial operation of Austria's nationwide truck tolling system was going operational and new representative offices in China and a branch office in Croatia are founded.
In 2005, the Kapsch Telematic Services GmbH was founded with branch offices in Czech Republic and Hungary.
