Yesterday, today, tomorrow
a company with a history and future

emz has been synonymous with quality and sophisticated product solutions, together with forward-looking ideas and technologies for the past 75 years. At emz we have always claimed to be a creative problem solver and trustworthy partner for our customers.

A traditional family business

The roots of the family-owned company, now under third generation management, stretch back to 1948. Ernst Hanauer Sr. founded emz with modest means and led the company to become an independent manufacturer of small electronic components.

His son, Ernst Hanauer Jr., leveraged his enthusiasm for technology and flair for innovation to further expand the company. It now comprises all operational functions from research and development through to quality management and an in-house sales department.

Thomas Hanauer has held the position of managing director since 1995 and has set the company on an international growth course. By making the strategic change from being a component supplier to a systems supplier, he increased product complexity, but he also enhanced the standing of emz for its worldwide customers.
