MEN Mikro Elektronik designs and manufactures failure-safe computer boards and systems for extreme environmental conditions in industrial and safety-critical embedded applications.

Founded in 1982 in Nuremberg, MEN has about 200 employees. Export has a share of about 50% of the globally active company with subsidiaries in France and the USA .

The standard product range contains about 100 different standard computer boards with corresponding software as well as completely configured systems. The development and production of customized hardware is an additional service.

The products are used worldwide as control, measuring, and test or simulation computers in all kinds of embedded applications. These are extremely safety-critical mobile markets like railway, buses, agricultural machines, commercial vehicles, avionics and shipbuilding as well as other mission-critical applications. Computer systems in such applications are in operation up to 24 hours every day and often need to be available for 10 years and longer. Ideally no failures must occur to avoid costly downtimes of machines or danger to human life.

MEN Mikro Elektronik is certified to EN 9100:2003 (aerospace), IRIS (railway), ISO 9001:2000 (quality management) and ISO 14001:2005 (environmental management) in order to meet the severe quality requirements in critical applications and to offer our customers the highest quality in products and services while considering environmental protection and occupational safety on the basis of a recognized quality management system.
