The history of ANDUS

1969  Klaus Czycholl (right) manufactures the first printed circuit boards with his partners, using self-made and very simple equipment.  Gruender
  Right from the beginning it is ANDUS philosophy to manufacture high-quality prototypes using all available technologies.  Mikroskop
  Single-sided and double-sided printed boards with photo masters using adhesive technology and drill templates define the initial technology.  Klebetechnik
1972 The number of employees increases steadily.
Use of blue/red technology for double-sided printed boards: generation of the films from a multi-coloured master using colour filters.
 Rot-Blau-Technik
  ANDUS instals the first “Geagraf” model by AEG worldwide. With the help of this punch tape technology, masters are digitalised manually.  CAM-Abteilung
1974 The first issue of a regular information flyer – today’s INFORMANDUS – is published.   
1978 The first multilayer PCB is produced.   
1979 The first laser plotter for photo masks is taken into operation.   
1980 A connection via modem is available to transfer PCB data, even if there is hardly any customer at that time who is able to use this equipment.  
1982 ANDUS obtains UL approval for a first type of PCBs.  
1983 The first rigid-flex PCB is delivered.  
1992 First order using iceberg technology.  Eisberg-Technik
  1993
The first microvia is produced, at that time still using photovia technology.
 Erstes Microvia
1995 ANDUS obtains the DIN EN ISO 9002:1994 certificate.  ISO Zertifikat
1996 ANDUS goes online.
Installation of an additional laser plotter.
First production of multilayer with 24 layers.
 
2000
ANDUS increases its investment in flex and rigid-flex technology.
An 8-layer flex is delivered.
 
2001 An impedance meter for recorded impedances is taken into operation.  Impedanzmessung
2002 Intensive research into thermal management is begun.  
2004 The new DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 certificate replaces earlier versions.  
2008 Due to increased technology consulting services, ANDUS changes to direct distribution.    
ANDUS invests in a new AOI device.  AOI
ANDUS goes online with new web design.  
Introduction of new LDI process for 2 mil technology.  LDI
ANDUS qualifies new process for copper filled microvias.  HDI-Microvia
