Garz & Fricke
New name at the turn of the year
In October 2021, the Garz & Fricke Group and all of its companies became part of the globally active company Seco. From January 1, 2022, the company will operate as Seco Northern Europe and Seco Mind Germany.
By changing its name, the group aims to make its three business divisions Seco Edge, Seco Mind and Seco Next more visible in the DACH, Scandinavian, UK, Irish and Benelux markets. In future, Seco Northern Europe will also take over the business of Seco Germany.
The Seco Edge division specializes in Single Board Computers (SBC) in the 3.5 inch, embedded NUCTM and Pico ITX formats, Computer-on-Modules (COM) with standards such as COM Express, COM-HPC, ETX, Qseven and SMARC as well as Human Machine Interfaces. In future, the product portfolio will be expanded to include the modular Proven Concept HMI portfolio by Garz & Fricke with flush mount, rear mount and panel mount installation variants as well as the single board computers developed for this purpose. The System-on-Module (SOM) solutions Trizeps (SODIMM) and Myon by Keith & Koep will also be integrated into the product range. Furthermore, the entire field of payment solutions, which includes the unattended cashless payment system KarL4 (TOPP) by Garz & Fricke, will be brought together in this business unit. Seco Edge also offers extended edge computing functions - such as security applications and data calculation - in its products. The Research & Development competencies for hardware, software and customer-specific system integration are also bundled here.
Under Seco Mind, the Group bundles all services relating to the development of IoT and AI applications. The focus is on providing special software services and platforms for the use of artificial intelligence (AI), data science and data orchestration.
Seco Next focuses on creating and orchestrating an ecosystem for experimentation and on supporting different market players through an open innovation approach.
Seco is listed on the Italian stock exchange and develops and produces technological solutions ranging from miniaturized computers to customized integrated systems combining hardware and software. The company employs over 800 people worldwide and generated sales of more than EUR 75 million as of December 31, 2020
