Our history
A word from the President
![](https://www.comtronic-schoenau.de/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/03/mot-du-president.jpg)
We have over 50 years of experience in the aerospace industry. Our strength is to support our customers in the achievement of their projects. We focus our know-how on creating a customer-specific product, tailor-made to the customer’s needs.
We have chosen to put Quality and the Continuous Improvement Process at the heart of our strategy, which makes COMTRONIC a company capable of designing and manufacturing products that meet aeronautical requirements.
I also hope that the men and women will find the means for human and professional development in a human-sized structure of about fifty employees.
We are proud of the work already produced and must be ready for the next challenges!
Gilles HEINRICH
President
