history
The corporate history of Leesys GmbH is closely linked to that of the Leipzig RFT telecommunications plant during the reunification of Germany . Refurbished by former RFT employees.
Dr. Dietz & Ritter - factory for radio products and transformers
With the participation of Körting & Mathiesen founded in 1925 two former employees of the company, the merchant Oswald Ritter and the technician William Dietz, in Leipzig -Stötteritz Dr. Dietz & Ritter GmbH, factory for radio products and transformers and thus laid the foundation stone for the electronics location Leipzig. The company headquarters were the former premises of the Graphic Art Institute Dr. Trenkler & Co. in Eichstädtstrasse 11. The company initially produced transformers, power amplifiers and dynamic loudspeakers under license from the American company Magnavox .
In 1948 the factory in Leipzig was expropriated , and it became part of the Manufacturers' Association of Radio and Telecommunication Technology (RFT) in the GDR.
VEB communications electronics
A large number of originally independent smaller and larger equipment and apparatus manufacturers for radio and telecommunications technology were nationalized in the course of the history of the GDR and combined in the RFT. From some of these companies the VVB RFT Radio und Fernmeldechnik Leipzig was formed, from which later the VEB RFT Kombinat Nachrichtenelektronik emerged, so that the electronics location Leipzig remained.
Takeover by Siemens AG and foundation of Leesys
In 1990, Siemens AG took over formerly state-owned companies, including the electronics site in Leipzig and with it VEB Nachrichtenelektronik.
On July 1, 1990, this resulted in the founding of “Nachrichtenelektronik Leipzig GmbH iA”, “Elektroakustik Leipzig GmbH” and “industry engineering GmbH”. Production of the Hicom 100 telephone system and EWSD flat module production for Siemens began in March 1990. On November 1, 1990, Siemens Kommunikationstechnik GmbH Leipzig was founded as a joint venture between the Siemens Public Communication Networks and Private Communication Systems divisions.
Until the move in 1999 to the current location in Hertzstraße, power supplies were manufactured at the Melcherstraße location in addition to private branch exchanges. Since the start of production of Business Phones in 1997, more than 28 million phones have left the factory. The first wireless modules rolled off the assembly line in 2003. To date, almost 84 million modules have been delivered.
The company, now known as Siemens Enterprise Communications Manufacturing , was spun off in 2005 to a Siemens joint venture . In 2010, the production site expanded its range for customers outside of the direct Siemens environment. The product range includes electronic manufacturing services, plastics manufacturing and complete devices.
Change of name to Leesys
In 2012 the name was changed to Leesys - Leipzig Electronic Systems GmbH. With the name "Leipzig Electronic Systems" the location and its history should be emphasized.
Takeover by Quantum
In 2014, Quantum Capital Partners AG (QCP), an international investment company with headquarters in Munich, took over the Leipzig company.
