HistoryOur development since 1988
1988
Business formation
Wolfgang Karl, at the time managing director at INGUN, founded the INGUN Elektronik GmbH together with 4 employees from BOSCH.
Taking over the customer support for the freely programmable PAD testing system from BOSCH, many projects using the PAD system and INGUN test adapters were successfully completed in the following years. The devices under test included heating controls, refrigerator and washing machine controllers, the first electronic vehicle engine control systems, and ABS/ESP brake systems from well-known manufacturers.
1990
First own product
Market launch of the self-developed and programmable testing system “Teck 2010”. The PC-based system was presented at the Productronica trade fair and served as a replacement for BOSCH’s discontinued PAD testing system. With this new product, a wide range of testing projects were carried out for a growing customer base.
1993
Emergence of the name Quintest
On September 20th, 1993, the company was renamed from INGUN Elektronik GmbH to Quintest Elektronik GmbH. The new name was derived from the words Quality, Industry and Testing.
At the same time, co-founder Karl Meyer took over the management of the company.
1993
Launch of the PZS automatic test marker
Presentation of the new PZS automatic test marker at the trade fairs Productronica, Motek and Testing Expo. The cost-efficient and easy-to-implement product quickly gained traction in testing departments across industries worldwide. Today, the PZS is marketed as a general stamp marking system and is increasingly used outside testing departments.
1995
Introduction OBD control unit
Launch of our control unit for the on-board diagnosis (OBD) of vehicle controls via the bus system “K-Leitung”. The first application was controlling the ABS valves during the brake filling process in the assembly line. Today, the control unit is used for various other use cases, such as operating vehicle actuators like windows, rear spoilers, ignitions, or lighting systems. It also supports modern communication protocols like CAN (FD), LIN, and UDS.
