EVK was started in 1982 when DI Kerschhaggl and Ing. Völker, additionally to their regular occupations, assistant lecturer at university and teacher, began to use an upcoming microprocessor technology in various applications of industrial measuring, control and regulating technology.
The company name EVK originates from this time and stood for "Electronic Völker Kerschhaggl".
When DI Kerschhaggl decided to become self-employed in 1987, Ing. Völker left the company. That is why the date of foundation of EVK is set as 1987. Since then EVK was run as an personal undertaking till it was changed to a private limited company in 2005.
EVK DI Kerschhaggl GmbH has 30 employees whose know-how considerably strengthens the growing success of the company.
