The founders of Variosystems were not the inventors of the printed circuit board. That honor belongs to the Austrian Paul Eisler, who developed it in the late 1930s. However, the printed circuit board is the product around which everything revolved at Variosystems in the beginning. For the three visionaries Peter Germann, Norbert Bachstein and Peter Ermish, the year 1993 was therefore of great importance. It was the year in which they launched Variosystems. At that time, the assembly of printed circuit boards still required a lot of manual work. So the first orders were carried out on a kitchen table with a lot of enthusiasm and countless night shifts. Such an effort is only made by someone who has a clear idea of where this huge effort should lead. And this should pay off for Variosystems.
