Innovation for success

Electronics play a key role in nearly every area of our lives. Continuing innovations means

technology is steadily improving. As our device have evolved, over time they have become

everyday helpers that we can not do without. Design and lifestyle aspects play their part,

and applications are optimized to deliver maximum benefits. Computer-assisted traffic

control systems help us every day by guiding steadily increasing traffic. On-board

computers serve us in our cars. “Intelligent living” with networked household devices,

home automation or multimedia systems enhances our comfort and safety. Mobile

payment systems, car connectivity, Internet-enabled electronic devices – the list of new

developments is long.

In medical technology, innovation is improving treatment and patient quality of life.

Microelectronics for proton therapy are becoming ever more important in in the battle

against cancer. Aviation and space flight would be impossible without electronics.

Microelectronics play an important role in satellite research projects. Globalization and

the ongoing development of information and communication technologies are opening

new avenues for collaboration. Companies that focus on their core business while making

effective use of external specialists can achieve competitive advantage through opera-

tional and strategic partnerships.

Cicor is a solutions provider with worldwide operations and a globally unique portfolio of

services and technologies. The latest discoveries combined with many years of experience,

state-of-the-art technologies together with exceptional expertise make Cicor a depend-

able and innovate partner in the development and production of compelling solutions for

every aspect of electronics.
