"Printec-DS, what were you like in the '90s?"

Back in the '90s, industrial technology looked very different. Yet one thing hasn't changed: the need for reliable, long-lasting equipment.

📍A milestone in our history: 1992

In 1992, Printec-DS designed and manufactured its first in-house keyboard with an integrated controller: the **DS102W**. This dustproof and waterproof plastic keyboard marked an important step in expanding our product portfolio and showcased our commitment to robust industrial solutions.

More than 30 years later, many of the products we supplied in the 1990s are still in operation. Several classic systems remain available, supported, and trusted by customers who value proven performance and reliability.

While our product range has grown with new technologies, automation, and digital innovations, we're just as proud of something else: product longevity.

Through retrofit and modernization projects, we help customers extend the life of existing equipment, improve performance, and adapt proven systems to today's production requirements.

Some technologies come and go. The classics endure.

Following our recent post on marine keyboards, we highlight a key element of our input solutions: advanced LED illumination technology. 💡

🔧 LEDs can be used as direct light sources or combined with light guides, light guide films, or optical fibers—ensuring uniform illumination while optimizing efficiency and reducing component count.

⚙️ Flexible configuration
Our solutions offer adjustable brightness, precise dimming, and single-color or RGB options, tailored to specific application requirements.

🎯 Precision for enhanced usability
Targeted illumination of each individual key without light spill minimizes distraction and supports intuitive operation, especially in demanding environments like noisy machine rooms.

Our illumination technology is not limited to specific materials but is applied consistently across our entire product portfolio. Engineered for high-performance, reliability and compliance with demanding standards, including marine-certified applications.

Designing keyboards for dust, water & vibration ⚓

In harsh environments, input devices must meet strict mechanical and environmental requirements. At Printec-DS, our marine-certified keyboards are engineered for high ingress protection (IP-rated sealing), resistance to salt mist, and long-term exposure to particulate contamination.

Our marine-certified silicone keyboards are built with:
• Fully sealed elastomer keypads for IP68 protection
• Resistance to saltwater corrosion and chemical exposure
• High vibration tolerance for continuous operation in dynamic systems
• Wide operating temperature ranges for outdoor and industrial use
• Tactile feedback optimized for use with gloves and in wet conditions

Originally developed for marine applications, these keyboards are increasingly deployed in heavy industrial environments where mechanical stress, contamination, and reliability requirements exceed standard specifications.

The result: stable signal integrity and consistent user input, even under sustained environmental stress.

🔧 May 1st – International Labor Day

On May 1st, we recognize the people behind industrial performance:
the operators, technicians, and engineers who rely on robust systems every day.

At Printec-DS, this day is also dedicated to our own teams:
those who design, engineer, assemble, and test HMI solutions built for real-world conditions.

From continuous operation under pressure to exposure to dust, moisture, and demanding environments,
our focus remains the same: delivering ergonomic, durable input systems that perform reliably over the long term.

Because in critical applications, dependable human-machine interaction is essential.

Thank you to everyone who keeps systems running.

We sat down with our CEO Thomas Holeczek and our newly appointed COO Nina Zimmermann to talk about what this next step means for Printec-DS.

After 10 years with the company, Nina steps into the COO role with a clear focus: improving collaboration, strengthening processes, and ensuring that growth remains sustainable in everyday operations.

“As complexity grows, clarity becomes essential,” Nina Zimmermann explains. Her goal: make sure teams can rely on each other, processes stay practical, and good work doesn’t become harder than it needs to be.

For Thomas Holeczek, this step reflects the company’s evolution:
“Experience alone is no longer enough, it needs the right structure. By combining different perspectives at leadership level, we create stronger alignment between strategy and execution.”

What does this mean for our customers and partners?

Continuity with more strength behind it.
A company that grows without losing reliability.
And processes that ensure consistent quality across everything we do.
