Success starts with vision

During a cheeful evening in a pub, three friends decided to set forth and reinvent the wood working industry...

At that time, Hansjörg Thaler was junior manager in a sawing plant in Brixen and was unsatisfied with the low productivity and the work-intense processes in his company. Paul Durst, the visionary, and Federico Giudiceandrea, the electronics engineer, immediatly tackled the problem and understood the huge potential of their approach.

Joining forces and talents the three founded MiCROTEC in 1980. Thaler's sawing plant turned to the first observation objects and was used to test the first prototypes. Restlessly, the young team studied and put their findings in practice. The passion was born and is still one of the key triggers of the MiCROTEC's success.

In 1982 Silvio Danuser's bright electronic engineering genius joined the team.

Passion and dedication, coupled with genial intuitions of the engineers Giudiceandrea, Durst and Danuser, practical wood processing insights of Thaler, as well as frank feedback of the first saw plant, levelled MiCROTEC's success.
