ELESTA GmbH can look back on a com­pany his­tory rich in tra­di­tion. Our roots go back to the found­a­tion of ELESTA Elektro­tech­nik AG in 1952, where a mul­ti­tude of innov­a­tions were real­ized until 1996, includ­ing optical sensors, meas­ur­ing and con­trol sys­tems as well as relays. ELESTA relays GmbH was foun­ded in 1997 as a man­u­fac­turer of relays with for­cibly guided con­tacts in accord­ance with IEC 61810-3. In 2013 the com­pany was renamed ELESTA GmbH. We are part of the PILZGmbH & Co. KG Group of Com­pan­ies. We develop and pro­duce products in three areas: Relays with for­cibly guided con­tacts Optical mini­ature encoders Cus­tom sensors
