The anniversary year's motto is 'From 8-bit to AI: 50 Years of Embedded Excellence'.
Co-creator of a technological era
The company has not only accompanied the development of the embedded industry, but has also actively shaped it: from the first in-circuit emulators to modern solutions for safety-critical applications. Today, the company supports its customers in all phases of development projects – from concept to system implementation in hardware and software. Hitex offers particular expertise in the fields of embedded security and functional safety.
"Hitex began its journey when 8-bit microcontrollers were just becoming popular. Today, our customers face complex challenges such as artificial intelligence, real-time requirements, certifications, and long-term support," says Jörg Stender, Managing Director of Hitex GmbH. "Hitex helps to manage these challenges and ensures that embedded systems meet current and future requirements."
2026 will be a year full of insights and innovations
Hitex is using its anniversary year to take a comprehensive look at the past, present and future. Plans include interviews with partners and former managing directors from the early days, as well as insights into long-standing partnerships with companies and universities. A special focus will be placed on the changes that five decades of technological development have brought about and the resulting perspectives on the future of embedded technology. “The most exciting chapters of our history are still ahead of us,” says Jörg Stender. “We invite everyone to join us on this journey.”
Hitex will publish the latest information on its anniversary year on LinkedIn and its company website.
