history

The then sales manager at Motorola , Erich Fischer, founded EBV Elektronik in June 1969 with a Motorola franchise agreement for North Rhine-Westphalia . At the end of 1970 the turnover was five million marks. In 1972 Hewlett Packard was looking for a distributor for its semiconductor division in Germany and became the fifth manufacturer to be sold by EBV after Motorola, National Semiconductor , Signetics and Unitrode . In January 1986 the first EBV office outside Germany opened in Brussels . EBV was the first ever distributor to be franchised by Motorola outside of its country. Shortly thereafter, a sales office in the Netherlands followed .

In 1996 Erich Fischer sold EBV to Raab Karcher , a subsidiary of Veba Electronics, and withdrew from the company. After the acquisition, 21 new offices were opened in 15 countries within 18 months. There were now additional branches in Great Britain , Ireland , Sweden , Norway , Finland , Slovenia , Greece , Hungary , Turkey , Israel , Russia , South Africa , France , Poland and the Czech Republic .
