About ADE Vertriebs GmbH
ADE Vertriebs GmbH is an electronics company based in Nörvenich that specializes in mobile data capture (MDE) and digital material flow control. The company develops and manufactures e-Kanban solutions in semi-automatic and fully automatic versions (via optics), pick-by-light systems and pick-by-vision solutions. A second core business area is the purchase of used MDE devices from a worldwide supplier network, their repair and refurbishment, and their resale as nearly-new devices. The service portfolio ranges from needs analysis and concept development to hardware and software integration and after-sales service including repair. As an authorized Zebra Technologies partner, ADE serves more than 7,000 listed customers in the industrial, logistics and retail segments across Europe and beyond. The business areas grew out of Anke Daude electronic, founded in 1985, and ADE Vertriebs GmbH, founded in 1994, which merged in 2009.
