Foundation of ELEX AG
The foundation stone for the success story of ELEX AG
The foundation stone for the success story of ELEX AG was laid by Albert Meyerhofer and his son Ernst in 1934. The name is derived from the words "ELectrical EXtraction". The following generation, Ernst Meyerhofer's two sons, also joined the company at an early stage and steered the company's fortunes in the spirit of the founding fathers, achieving great success. Already at the beginning and later also during the war years, ELEX AG had repeatedly done pioneering work and developed new products on behalf of customers. The products were so convincing in the market that they were copied by competing companies. Despite the subsequent price war, ELEX AG lost practically no customers because it maintained high and constant quality.

Bereits am Anfang und später auch in den Kriegsjahren hatte die ELEX AG immer wieder Pionierarbeit geleistet und im Auftrag von Kunden neue Produkte entwickelt. Die Produkte überzeugten dermassen im Markt, dass sie von konkurrierenden Firmen kopiert wurden. Trotz des nachfolgenden Preiskrieges verlor die ELEX AG praktisch keine Kunden, weil sie eine hohe und konstante Qualität aufrecht hielt.
