The founding of Ascom

Concentration of resources in research, development, production and sales was the primary objective behind the founding of Ascom. As early as 1984 Autophon, Hasler and Zellweger had contracted to co-operate more closely. The financial merger in June 1987, leading to the creation of Ascom Holding Ltd, was a logical and meaningful continuation of the course adopted three years earlier.
Ascom formally began operations with a new corporate structure on 1 July 1987. The merger was implemented retroactively to 1 January 1987
