learn about how we got started!ZESTRON's History
Dating back to 1975 with the founding of Dr. O.K. Wack Chemie GmbH in Ingolstadt, Germany, a company committed to developing innovative cleaning alternatives for hard metal surfaces. Following this business's success, ZESTRON was incorporated in 1990 and is dedicated to developing and providing innovative precision cleaning solutions for the electronics industry.
Inspiration and Mission for the Future
The ambitions were great when the company was founded in 1992. A lot has happened since then: ZESTRON has not only become a successful brand, but also the world market leader in the field of high-precision cleaning.
At the latest with the opening of the technical centre in Ingolstadt in 1994 and the product launch of the first water-based cleaner VIGON®, the direction was set. Through innovative progress in the field of research, ZESTRON continued to develop technologically. From the mid-2000s, this was followed by expansion into new markets, so that today the company is represented at eight locations on three continents.
ZESTRON's fields of activity have also developed over the years - today, the company no longer only stands for top quality in the field of precision cleaning. In particular, consulting, analysis and solution development in the area of electronic surfaces (reliability) as well as knowledge transfer by means of training courses, workshops and white papers (academy) are now an essential part of the company's philosophy.
This development makes us proud - but at the same time it is also a great incentive: together we want to continue the success story.
