AixTEC Components GmbH was founded in Aachen, in 2009, and at that time consisted of two members of staff.

In 2010, our first quality management system was certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008.

Moreover, the workforce increased to five employees in the first business year.

In 2011 we invested in the quality control and deployed the first Vision Engineering microscope for detailed optical checks of components.

Company growth and an increased need for office and storage space meant that, in 2012, AixTEC Components – with a workforce of eight – moved to a new site, tripling the areas for logistics and quality control.

In 2016 our microscope was supplemented by an HD inspection system, a step in the development of quality assurance at AixTEC Components GmbH. It allows us to take highly-detailed photos from various angles and to process them with the appropriate software (dimensions, notes etc.)

Thanks to the continuous improvement and development of our quality management system, the 2010 DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 certification was followed by DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 seven years later.

Staff numbers more than doubled within this period.

Team reinforcements in the sales and administration departments have resulted in capacity exhaustion at our current office complex.

Since we are still growing and intend to enlarge our team, relocation to a new office complex with twice the current surface area is planned for 2019.

We expanded our storage capacity by adding 500 sqm of ESD-protected warehouse space. Our existing facility grew by more than 350 storage locations and 40 pallet spaces. With this expansion, we are creating at least three new jobs in logistics, quality assurance, and work preparation.

In the summer of 2021, we were also heavily impacted by the devastating flood disaster. However, thanks to our strong team and a swift reconstruction phase, we quickly resumed operations. This challenge made us even more resilient - today, we stand stronger than ever, committed to quality, reliability and customer focus.

We stood strong against the flood.

By acquiring our new office building, we have taken a significant step forward for the future of AixTEC Components GmbH. The additional space not only enables further growth but also offers a more efficient working environment for our team. This ensures that we continue to provide our customers with the best possible service while optimizing our processes.

To further enhance our quality controls, we have invested in state-of-the-art X-ray technology. Our new X-ray machine allows us to gain detailed insights into the internal structure of components, enabling us to verify their authenticity with even greater precision. This ensures that only flawless and genuine components leave our facility.
