Fronius celebrates 75th anniversary

It was Günter Fronius who got the ball rolling when he set up his specialist repair workshop for radio and electrical technology. The starting point was the Upper Austrian market town of Pettenbach, where our company is still based to this day. Battery charging technology has been Fronius’ core competence from the very beginning: at that time, charging car batteries was not a matter of course. With this in mind, Günter Fronius developed a solution so that the batteries could be used for longer and, with that, the first battery charger was born. Later, the Business Units Perfect Welding and Solar Energy expanded Fronius’ portfolio to include high-performance welding technology and innovative technologies for photovoltaics.
