Kontron AG is a German-based multinational company which designs and manufactures embedded systems, modules and boards, and provides software products for Internet of Things and 5G technologies.
The company operates in various industrial segments (including industrial automation, communications, transportation, energy, avionics, medical, automotive, and military), manufacturing and selling its products worldwide. Kontron is a premier member of the Intel Embedded Alliance.
The corporate group was originally headquartered in Augsburg and consisted of the Kontron Europe GmbH, with its main sites in Ismaning, Augsburg, Deggendorf, and Saarbrücken (other locations included San Diego, Fremont, California, Montreal, Plzeň, Toulon, Bangalore, Taipei, Tokyo and Beijing). Kontron acquired Dolch in 2005.
At the 2007 Embedded World trade exhibition in Nuremberg, Kontron introduced a product called UGM-M72, a modular graphics card for Computer-on-Module systems, which was based on Universal Graphics Module (UGM) design specification standard published by XGI Technology and Kontron in June 2007. The card used the M72 GPU from ATI Technologies, and was 84 x 95 mm in size. Version 1.1 of UGM standard was published in July 2008, and Advanced Micro Devices (the parent company of ATI) announced in August 2008 that it would support the new standard. A web site for UGM standard was maintained by XGI and Kontron until the Great Recession in 2009.
In August 2017, Kontron was merged into Austrian-based S&T, and was renamed Kontron Group on 1 June 2022, with its corporate headquarters in Linz.
In 2022, Kontron announced the sale of its IT services business to Vinci SA in order to concentrate on its realignment as a provider of products and solutions for Internet of Things.
In July and August 2023, Kontron acquired Comlab AG (a Swiss company manufacturing data communication repeaters for railways), Hartmann and W-IE-NE-R group of companies from Phoenix Mecano, and Cellular Automotive Module Unit from Telit Cinterion. In September 2023, it was announced that Kontron acquired Altimate, the Bucharest-headquartered software company specialising in traffic control, automated fare collection, tolling, and enforcement of traffic violations.
