Founded in 1988 in Puchheim, Germany, Elatec began developing its own RFID solutions for the first time in the 2000s. The company, which sets a global standard in its core expertise of integrated RFID, NFC, and BLE hardware, has particularly stood out with its “universal reader” concept. The readers they develop are capable of recognizing almost all different card technologies used worldwide with a single device. This unique flexibility has earned them a well-deserved international reputation as a manufacturer of “future-proof authentication hardware.” Placing the word “trust” at its focal point, Elatec defines the development processes of its products and solutions as “technically sound and perfectly compatible.”
Today, the RFID and wireless card reader technologies used with Elatec technology in nearly 100 countries prove that the brand’s market position is much more than just a supplier. Undoubtedly, behind this success lies the company’s perspective and investments in R&D and P&D (Product Development), while the support services provided to its global partners have also enabled Elatec to take a step forward. Continuing its technology development activities in 22 locations across different continents, Elatec also ensures the uninterrupted use of its products through the support services it provides to its partners. Having recently joined Allegion, Elatec continues its development activities without interruption, and its market position is far beyond that of a mere component supplier; it is a technology visionary.
The collaboration between Ones Technology and Elatec has evolved into an ecosystem partnership walking the same path, rather than just a commercial relationship, thanks to both brands’ perspective on R&D. BioAffix hardware, which features products manufactured with the flexible hardware infrastructure developed by Elatec, proved how such collaborations can turn into unique solutions by returning with two awards from Las Vegas in April 2025. Ones Technology aims to actively continue this fruitful collaboration with ELATEC in new products and solutions they will develop in the future.
