With a turnover of 40 million Euros, GÖPEL electronic from Jena, Germany, was able to achieve a sales record in the past fiscal year 2019. The strong previous year was exceeded by two percentage points, and the number of employees was also increased. Thus the company's growth continues.
The "Automotive Test Solutions" division made a significant contribution to this success. This made the automotive industry the most important sales market in 2019 as well. Increasing electrification of drives and complex communication and control systems in the vehicle led to strong demand for test solutions from automobile manufacturers and suppliers.
