Electronic Touch Systems has supplied membrane keypad solutions and ancillary products to the South African electronics industry for more than two decades. The locally manufactured products on display at the show will be membrane switches, overlays, control panels, instrument panels labels, dials and domes.
Having been founded in 1990 by Irish expatriate Tony Ellis, the company has grown from strength to strength ever since, and continues to provide an essential service to the industry. The success of the company is attributed to personal customer attention, quality and service, which has made the company a leader in its industry.
From humble beginnings in Albertville, Johannesburg, the company grew steadily until the premises were not large enough to contain its increasing production. After a short-lived move to premises in Albertskroon, in 1992 the company made its home in a 650 square metre facility in a prime Northcliff location, which houses its printing, assembly and die-cutting operations on three separate floors and an administration department on the top floor.
Although best known for its membrane keypads, the company actually started business reproducing photographic materials for the silk screen printing industry. Spying a gap in the marketplace and with increasing confidence in its production capabilities, the company began manufacturing polycarbonate labels, followed shortly afterwards by its range of membrane keypads. The product range has since expanded still further to include integration of LEDs into keypads, as well as supply of domed badges.
Quality is something which the company certainly does not simply pay lip service. Each and every button on each and every keypad that is manufactured is manually tested before being dispatched, which has paid dividends as the company has received numerous SASPA and CBI awards for quality and zero defects.
