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.
