About Hartmann Electronic

Hartmann Electronic (Kontron HARTMANN-WIENER GmbH) has been developing and manufacturing high-speed backplanes and modular system platforms since 1971. The portfolio comprises COTS and custom backplanes in standards such as VPX, PXIe, PXI, VME/VME64x and cPCI (Serial) – more than 5,000 backplanes have been designed to date, qualified to DIN EN ISO 9001 as well as PICMG and VITA standards. In addition, the company manufactures electronic chassis (rack-mount, development, rugged ATR to IEEE 1101.20 and MIL standards), power supplies and power backplanes, embedded solutions such as single board computers, carrier boards and shelf managers, as well as accessories such as front panels, test adapters and fan trays. The product range also includes 100GBase-KR4 VPX backplanes with stable signal transmission up to 12.5 GHz. The products are used in industries such as aerospace, defense technology, medical technology, telecommunications, industrial computers, mechanical engineering, transportation, marine technology and the automotive industry. The company operates internationally and supplies, among others, customers in Germany, France, Italy, Turkey, South Africa, Singapore, Korea and North America.
