Thomas Wenzel, also a managing director, remains as the head of the Embedded JTAG Solutions division.
Holger Göpel founded the company in May 1991 with former employees of the test and measurement department at Carl Zeiss.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
06/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Today is Friday the 13th, and in much of Western folklore, this is a day when bad luck is lurking.

In Spain and Greece, the bad juju lands on Tuesday the 13th—a day linked to Mars, the god of war, and naturally, chaos.
