Elektron Berlijn –
Ein Familienunternehmen.
100 Jahre Qualität für die Besten.
The year is 1922,
and while the Weimar Republic was mastering its challenges, a visionary inventor named Günther Vollberg appeared on the scene in Berlin. On his bicycle, loaded with ideas, he went to Krupp and Bewag to present his groundbreaking patent: the quadruple fuse. The response is overwhelming, and on the way home Vollberg’s bag is filled with orders. Elektron Berlin is born.
100 years have now passed since those pioneering days. Elektron Berlin has grown into a medium-sized company with outstanding industrial expertise that has had a significant influence on the electrotechnical market. Numerous innovative products have been developed, but despite the changes, one thing remains constant: the claim to promote the safety and efficiency of users and to remain a family business.
André Vollberg, the son of the company founder, is the second generation to carry on his father’s philosophy: the focus is on measurable benefits and tangible customer satisfaction – and nothing else! At Elektron Berlin, we value tradition, innovation and, above all, long-standing relationships with our customers. We are proud to remain true to our founding principle even after 100 years: Quality and customer satisfaction come first.
The 60s
marks a decisive milestone for Elektron Berlin. The company headquarters moves within Berlin-Charlottenburg from Windscheidstr. 18 to Saatwinkler Damm 60. The innovative architecture of this location ushers in a phase of growth that leads the company into the future. The open-plan office, almost unchanged to this day, and spacious production levels lay the foundation for the care, efficiency and reliability of our Made In Germany products.
The 70s and 80s are characterized by a familial and friendly cohesion in the office and field service. The open-plan office and the spacious production levels not only form spatial structures, but also the foundation for the continuous increase in professionalism and the expansion of market shares.
The 1990s bring challenges and opportunities in a united Germany. André Vollberg travels tirelessly throughout the country, training, motivating and supplying the team with new products. The main building is extended by two floors in the same innovative style, which leads to an immense increase in productivity and driven innovation.
The new millennium is characterized by the introduction of new product lines and the modernization of existing products. A new generation of management, led by Marco Eichhorn (current Managing Director), makes its appearance. Together with André Vollberg, they combine the proven virtues of Elektron Berlin with the new requirements of the 21st century. Tradition and modernity go hand in hand, while Elektron Berlin continues to create innovative solutions for the electrotechnical world.
Elektron Berlin: A departure into the future with innovation and tradition
The next construction phase is heralded, driven by further sales gains that drive Elektron Berlin’s steady growth. Another two-storey extension to the production building is successfully completed to create additional storage and production capacity.
In recent years, the 3rd generation of the Vollberg family has also celebrated its entry into the company. Led by the partners C. Carl and N. Vollberg and the sales manager for France, B. Groß-Vollberg, they continue the success story together with André Vollberg.
The management, strengthened by the involvement of the youngest generation, is driving forward groundbreaking changes. Digitalization, internationalization and personnel restructuring are the keywords that are making Elektron Berlin fit for the future. The course is being set to pave a sustainable path for future generations of the family and to preserve the essence of Elektron Berlin: To provide satisfied customers from construction, trade and industry with the highest precision and quality.
Elektron Berlin is entering the future stronger and full of innovations, supported by the symbiosis of proven tradition and the drive to continuously set new standards in electrical engineering.
