company history and milestones

1995

Unternehmensgeschichte

Christine und Markus O. Krapf gründeten 1995 in CH-8363 Bichelsee die Einzelunternehmung INTECH-KRAPF. Neben dem technischen Handel mit herkömmlichen Produkten für die industrielle Automation hat sich das Unternehmen immer stärker Richtung Vertrieb von Kommunikations-, Sicherheits- & Industrietechnik entwickelt. INTECH-KRAPF hat sich erfolgreich mit dem Vertrieb von Eigen- und Fremdprodukten für die Störmelde-, Fernwirk-, Steuerungs- und Datenkommunikationstechnik auseinandergesetzt.

Intech-Krapf won the tender renewal of the SBB. With the TBOX, the control for the turnout heaters for SBB could be supplied and installed in Switzerland.

1999

The existing infrastructure in Bichelsee became too small. Larger premises were found and moved into CH-8362 Balterswil. There was enough space for the office, warehouse and technical laboratory. Due to the new spatial and personnel possibilities, Intech-Krapf also worked internationally for special customer projects.

The company Schlaefli AG joins the Intech company. Schlaefli AG is a Swiss company with international work. For over 40 years, security, access and communication systems have been manufactured and sold. In many countries, transport companies, banks, administrations, industrial, sports and amusement systems are the locations of Schlaefli products. The highest quality and absolute reliability are at the top of the company philosophy. Christine and Markus O. Krapf take over the management of Schlaefli AG. From this point on, the entire work will be carried out by Intech employees. Together with partner companies, Schlaefli plans, manufactures and install complete cash systems, gatekeeper lodges, personal and material locks, also with high safety requirements
