Originally, ekey was developed by the Austrian
company voestalpine GmbH in the year 2000. In 2002 the company
was bought by three former employees and subsequently restructured
and adapted to the needs of a small, but highly flexible and
innovative company with state of the art products.
Enterprise, the innovation project of voestalpine Stahl GmbH,
creates rooms to manoeuvre in which ideas are born, visions
are brought to life, people are allowed scope for development
and resources generate creative power.
The year 2000 witnessed the development from a visionary idea
into a business model. The order for implementation was placed
by voestalpine Stahl. Resources were made available.
A consortium was formed, comprised of partners from the sectors
of banking, credit card companies and technology. The know-how
of these partners made it possible to intensify the analysis
and development of the vision of a biometric system.
In October 2001, ekey biometric systems became an independent
business. Jointly with the partners and 35 staff members, the
vision is now being revised to meet the needs of future users
and is being put into action. After voestalpine decided to
focus on its core business, the production of high quality
steel, ekey biometric systems was meant to be closed down
in September 2002. However, in cooperation with the Austrian
entrepreneur Albert Fellner (Emporia Telekom), two former
ekey top managers decided to purchase several assets and ekey
patents and reopened ekey biometric systems as a new company.
To a large extent, the company’s staff specialised in
these new products were recruited from the original enterprise.
At the beginning of 2004 ekey biometric systems Deutschland
GmbH was founded in Nidderau-Heldenbergen, Germany. Generally
speaking ekey Deutschland is responsible for sales and business
project of all currently available products in the German
market. There, highly motivated staff assures a high quality
standard.
At the moment ekey is developing several pillars in several
biometric areas. And the company is on the right track: enormous
growth, a high degree of customer satisfaction and continued
research and development represent an enormous potential of
our products.
