Elma was established in 1960 in Moenchaltorf as a sole proprietorship. In 1965 it expanded operations into Germany with the foundation of Elma Electronic AG in Munich. In 1970 the company relocated from Moenchaltorf to Wetzikon. In 1974 Elma became a wholly owned Subsidiary of Sulzer. Sulzer divested Elma in 1996 and in the same year Elma held its first Initial public offering.

Elma's locations include Wetzikon, Fremont, California, Lawrenceville, Georgia, Warminster, Pennsylvania, Pforzheim, Tel Aviv, Villemoirieu, Bedford, Bucharest, Singapore, Shanghai and Bengaluru. In 1985 and 1990 Elma founded American subsidiaries: Elma Electronic Inc. and Elma Bustronic (both based in Fremont, California). Subsidiaries in France, Israel, Romania and England were established in 2000, a subsidiary in China in 2004. In the same 2004 Elma acquired Optima EPS (Lawrenceville, Georgia) and Mektron Systems (England). In 2009 Elma acquired ACT/Technico (Warminster, Pennsylvania).

Products

Elma supplies eurocard electronic enclosures since the 1960s. These enclosures are designed for standard 19” rack-mounted applications or for portable or desktop versions. From simple subracks for electronics, the company since expanded to chassis platforms for architectures such as the VMEbus. In 2009, the company acquired ACT/Technico, a provider of storage, board-level, and integration solutions.

Elma enclosures are centered on 19” and 23” Eurocard specification, primarily for VME/ VME64x, CompactPCI, VXS/VPX, VXI/PXI, AdvancedTCA/MicroTCA and other architectures. Elma supplies these products either pre-assembled or un-assembled. Elma is currently an executive member of the PICMG consortium ^[4]
