Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computer Technology (ECT), announces the foundation of its new subsidiary JUMPtec GmbH. With the relaunch of the traditional JUMPtec brand, the module business will be bundled under an independent brand umbrella to meet the growing demand for modular solutions.
JUMPtec GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kontron Europe GmbH and has its headquarters – like the former JUMPtec AG – in Deggendorf, Bavaria. The managing directors are Friedrich Krauss and Peter Müller, who have many years of management experience in the industry. “By revitalising JUMPtec, we are creating a strong platform that offers our customers access to innovative and scalable embedded computing solutions and at the same time shortens their development processes,” explains Friedrich Krauss, Managing Director of JUMPtec GmbH. “This will ensure that we can respond even more specifically to our customers’ needs and shorten their time-to-market.”
Customised solutions for vertical markets
The JUMPtec GmbH portfolio includes standardised and customised Computer-on-Modules (CoMs) in accordance with the COM Express®, COM-HPC®, SMARC® and Qseven™ standards. Customers benefit from modular, pre-validated solutions that are ready for immediate use or serve as a basis for specific customisations. Specialised services such as baseboard design, test support and comprehensive production and assembly services are also offered. “Our solutions help OEMs to outsource complex manufacturing steps and bring innovative products to market faster. Risks are minimised through end-to-end support and long life cycles,” adds Peter Müller, Managing Director of JUMPtec GmbH.
Thanks to Kontron’s global reach and distribution network, JUMPtec combines the advantages of an independent brand with the performance of an established market leader. JUMPtec’s technologies and services are used in various industries such as industrial automation, aerospace, medical, communications, infotainment and transportation. The independent brand identity builds on the pioneering role in the development of the CoM standard and emphasises JUMPtec’s position as a provider of innovative and scalable solutions.
