Using foresight to get ahead right from the start

SEMIKRON was founded in 1951 by Dr Friedrich Josef Martin (1914-1974). In the space of just a few years, the entrepreneur from Nuremberg had secured important markets in the field of power electronics through founding subsidiary companies in countries including Brazil, France, Italy and England. Today, the family business is in its third generation and has 2,800 employees worldwide. With a history more than 60 years of innovation, SEMIKRON has gone from strength to strength. Today SEMIKRON is a global leader in power electronics.

Innovation has been a key ingredient in our success. Many of SEMIKRON's innovations in the field of power electronics are now the industry standard. For example, with the SEMIPACK® in 1974, SEMIKRON invented the first power module with insulated design worldwide.
