The company of Aerocom, specialised in pneumatic transports and based
in Kermen, near Stuttgart in the South of Germany has been founded in 1953.
Starting from 1959, Aerocom has introduced PVC-tubes and plastic carriers
instead of steel first time in the market.
As a very inovative society, the first generation of motor-operated diverters
were developed and started for production.
In 1963 the first automatic station with storage facilities as a world novelty
was developed.
1970 Aerocom started their export activities.
In 1981 the company AIRFIX with a particularly big export share was purchased.
In 1982 the purchase of the well-known Austrian manufactures Aerotrans completed
the extension.
With effect of October 1996 Dr. Wolfram Pfitzer, who has been the General
Manager for the last 15 years, took over the company within the framework
of a management-buy-out.
