The The Slovenian Electronics and Electrical Engineering Industry boasts a long industrial tradition in the field of design, development and production of electrical components, electrical machines and devices as well as electronic components, appliances and systems. Considerable professional expertise in the fields of modern technologies and product development as well as that of highest international standards and specifications rendered possible a successful presence on both European and world markets.

    

Several companies such as Gorenje; then companies which were once constituent parts of Iskra, i.e. Iskra-Avtoelektrika, Iskraemeco, Iskratel, Iskra Sistemi, Iskra-Kondenzatorji and others; ETI Izlake, Domel, Kolektor Pro, Rotomatika etc. have all achieved market recognition, many of them through their own trademarks, which along with the guarantee of high quality products represent the key elements of long-term success.

 

The electronics and electrical engineering industry, supported by its own expertise and the ability of being on the level of modern technologies, has been successfully filling market niches, particularly in the fields of electrical motors and electric machinery; household appliances; telecommunication equipment; electronic measuring, medical and optical equipment; power distribution equipment and control systems; and electronic components.

    

Present on the world markets are companies in complete Slovenian ownership (Gorenje, Iskra Avtoelektrika, Domel, companies which are members of Hidria Corporation, etc.), Slovenian companies under mixed ownership (i.e. Iskratel), which are the result of a long partnership with foreign multinationals, and companies in complete foreign ownership (i.e. Danfoss Compressors, ETA Cerkno, BSH Hišni aparati, Nazarje, Danfoss Trata, Hella Lux Slovenija, Iskraemeco), which are respected members of international corporations.

    

In addition to large companies, also small and medium-sized companies are present on world markets, either as suppliers of their own finished products (for instance Metrel Horjul, Hyla Črnuče, LE-TEHNIKA Kranj, Optotek) or as producers of components for automotive and electronics industry ( AKA PCB Lesce; Iskra Mehanizmi, Atech, Iskra Bovec and others).

    

The mastery of both the entire quality process as well as environmental issues is reflected in numerous issued certificates of conformity according to standards ISO 9000 and 14000, as well as VDA 6.1 and QS 9000.
