The path of becoming a leader in high-tech security systems

The company was founded as Schrack AG in 1920 by Eduard Schrack. In 1939 he bought shares of the Ericsson Österreich Elektrizitäts AG. His son Eduard Harald Schrack joined the family company in 1952, started his career as a member of the management board and became CEO 1973-1991 following into his father’s footsteps. By then they renamed the company to Schrack Elektronik. E.H.Schrack revived the collaboration with Ericsson in 1978. During the 90’s the company started expanding rapidly towards Eastern Europe. 1994 he retired and sold it to Ericsson AG Austria. The security and communication system division was separated and sold due to a management buyout as an independent company named Schrack Seconet AG in the same year. The company started with 135 employees– and meanwhile increased to more than 500 employees around the world.

The Swiss Securitas Group joined the company in 1997 and is has been holding 100% of the shares since 2013. At the end of 2005, Hans Zavesky, the company's founder, handed over the management as general director to Wolfgang Kern and became Chairman of the Supervisory Board in June 2006.

In 2000, the third business area security systems was established as a business unit, to accompany our fire alarm and communication systems. The product portfolio has been supplemented for the protection of people and values, and Schrack Seconet AG is the overall safety provider for tailor-made and efficient solutions.
