History
Frequentis was founded in 1947 in post-WWII Vienna by Emanuel Strunz and Walther Hamm. The company's first contract was to assist in the construction of the Vienna II radio station. The company has since worked on a variety of different products, including steel hardening facilities and ultrasound therapy units. Frequentis constructed the air traffic control system at the Vienna International Airport.
Hannes Bardach became the managing director in 1983, and later became the owner of Frequentis. In 1999, its US subsidiary was established.
