history

In 1969 Horst Eckard founded the Eckard Design company in Groß -zimmer near Darmstadt. After the establishment, the first branch opened in Cologne in the same year . A year later the head office was relocated to Fulda and the company developed vehicles and production facilities. Prototypes have also been built since 1986 . The company's international presence began in 1987 with a branch in Martorell ( Barcelona ) in Spain. In 1992 the legal form changed to a stock corporation and the name Edag Engineering + Design AG was created. In 1998, Edag was the first automotive service provider to join the Association of the Automotive Industry . In 2004 FFT Flexible Manufacturing Technology GmbH & Co. KG , today's FFT Produktionssysteme GmbH & Co. KG , was integrated into the company. In February 2006, Lutz Helmig , owner of Aton GmbH and founder of the Helios clinics , bought Edag from the nine founding families. In 2007 the personnel service company ED Work GmbH & Co. KG was founded.

As a result of the takeover by Aton GmbH, the company was converted from a stock corporation into a partnership limited by shares on January 11, 2008 . As a further consequence of the restructuring, the managing directors Klaus Blickle and Jürgen Böhm left the company on April 8, 2008 and were replaced by long-standing senior employees Jörg Ohlsen, Manfred Hahl and Rainer Bauer.

In the course of the merger with the former competitor Rücker , the management was realigned at the beginning of 2014 and occupied by Jörg Ohlsen (CEO), Harald Poeschke (COO) and Jürgen Vogt (CFO). The head office was relocated to Wiesbaden . From March 2015 until the IPO, the company operated as Edag Engineering GmbH .

In the course of the IPO, the headquarters were relocated to Switzerland in November 2015, as the Swiss system of the Board of Directors allows the major shareholder Aton to have a stronger influence than the German Supervisory Board . The IPO on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange took place on December 2, 2015.

According to its own information, the company is the world's largest independent engineering service provider for the automotive industry.
