The roots of the company extend back to the year 1956 with the foundation of the Elektrogerätewerk in Gornsdorf / Erzgebirge. The electrical contact was the focus of development and production of connectors over many years. Experiences were made together with research institutes and universities in this field.

After the "Wende" the wide wealth of experience in the field of connectors and connector systems could be used for new challenges.

The foundation of the SKS Kontakttechnik GmbH in July 1998 was the logically consistent step to realise the existing potentials structured and targeted with entrepreneurial freedom to implement customer-specific requirements.

The permanent assessment of the requirements on the market prompted us to start necessary investments for a promising future.

We have focused on expansion of our portfolio over the years through acquisition of new products as well as further applications so that we could inspire new customers from all over the world to cooperate with SKS.

Meanwhile the opportunities within the SKS group have improved considerably to provide a wide range to our customers.

The spatial conditions as well as available equipment leave room for expansions and new projects also at short notice.

The successful development up to now confirms on the one hand the high acceptance of our expertise on the market and on the other hand the company philosophy including the decisions taken.
