Ten Years of apromace

On 09 January 2014

Today, apromace data systems GmbH looks back to ten successful years of business. It all started as a spin-off by former students and Ph.D.-students of Freiberg University of Mining and Technology. After the first project in the wire industry more orders followed from automotive, foundries and semi-conductors. This continuously challenged both - the personnel and the solutions. By today, the area of content customers broadened to the chemical industry and international enterprises.

Dr. Rolf Fischer, CEO and co-founder of apromace remembers:

We started as a 'garage company' in a living room and have now our own office building. We also grew in personnel and are now active in all Europe.
Our advantage is, that we are not offering off-the-shelf articles but think within the individual processes of our clients. So, we can offer more than a common solution. For the next years, I'm expecting a continuous positive development together with our clients and partners.

An overview on the latest developments and projects was already given at the Open Day for Customers and Interested Parties in October 2013. As to mention the research projects PLUSS and Prosperguss, the speeches at the International Automotive Congress and the International Foundry Conference, and new functions in MDE, BDE data collection, maintenance management, energy management, and quality assurance by supporting 8D reports.
