History

Hans and Elisabeth Schumacher form SCHUMACHER Elektromechanik GmbH. In their family house on Bodenseestrasse in Munich-Pasing, this privat firm launches its enterprise developing and manufacturing transformers, power supplies and industrial electronics.

The company supplies transformers and electronic equipment for radio vehicles for the newly founded Bundeswehr (German military).

Hans Schumacher invents the proportional remote control for model airplanes. For the first time, model flight can be continuously regulated with this radio remote control - each controller exactly imitated the amplitude of the movement of the stick on the transmitter - a revolution.

Collaboration with the company Graupner Modellbau. SCHUMACHER Elektromechanik GmbH supplies chargers, transformers, remote controls and other accessories for model making.

Hans Schumacher designs the high-performance glider HS 91 Clou, which becomes a “classic” amongst the Graupner model airplanes.

Structural change in model making, which is shifting further and further into the toy sector. The result is a drop in prices. The SCHUMACHERElektromechanik GmbH has to reduce capacities and cut valuable jobs.

With graduate engineer Hans Schumacher, son of the founders, the second generation joins the family business.

Getting started with medical laser technology. For and with customers such as Prolas, Hüttinger (today the Trumpf Group) and KLS Martin as well as various technology suppliers, SCHUMACHER develops electrotechnology, control devices and other electronic components for complex, medical laser applications.

Further expansion of IT integration through in-house, customer and application-specific software development.

Expansion of contract production with engineering knowledge and logistics - the number of employees rises to 25.

Restructuring of the company and diversification of the portfolio. Under the umbrella of SCHUMACHER Holding, SCHUMACHER Elektromechanik GmbH and SCHUMACHER MedTech GmbH supply specialised technology products and solutions to medium-sized firms and international customers.

When Lukas Schumacher (state-certified technician) and Ulrich Schumacher (M. Sc.) join the company, the third generation gets to work.

TÜV-SÜD certification according to DIN EN ISO 13485: 2016. This standard represents the requirements for a comprehensive quality management system for the design and manufacture of medical devices.
