Werner and Günter Meinberg found the company. In their former childhood home they build remote control systems for model aircraft. As a side venture, they manufacture time signal receivers as PC slot cards.

While the brothers' remote control systems cause waves among model aircraft enthusiasts, it's the business with the time signal receiver cards that prove to be unexpectedly promising. The two-man business begins to hire its first employees and builds its first dedicated company premises.

It's not long until the synchronization business begins to eclipse the original business concept. The Meinberg Brothers sell their remote control business to a British buyer and concentrate exclusively on their synchronization products.

With annual growth of 10 to 20 percent, it becomes inevitable that Meinberg will have to relocate again—this time to a specially constructed building on Meinberg's present-day campus. This building, known today as the "Old Company", is a test laboratory where we perform compliance testing on our devices.

Meinberg launches its first receiver with pseudo-random sequencing support. This model improves reception performance for the DCF77 long-wave signal (the legal time standard in Germany) a thousand fold.

With around 15 employees, the family company celebrates its 10-year anniversary. In addition to its DCF77 receivers, Meinberg has a short-lived sideline venture in the manufacture of belt weighing systems for the cigarette industry.

Meinberg launches its first GPS-synchronized reference clock using its unique frequency downconversion technology. This year also marks the first time the company is ISO 9001 certified for quality assurance.

The new LANTIME is Meinberg's first time server to use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize multiple devices in large networks, supporting and enabling a great many novel applications in a variety of industries.

Sales of the LANTIME facilitate Meinberg's rapid growth. SMT production becomes the manufacturing standard. To meet the growing demand for Meinberg products, Meinberg has a facility built specially for SMT production.

Meinberg's workforce at this point numbers around 65. This necessitates expansion of the new company building. New production facilities, office space, and a large meeting room are constructed.

Meinberg launches the LANTIME M-Series, allowing customers to have the signal inputs, signal outputs, and network connectivity of their devices customized to their needs. This flexibility makes the M300 and its successor, the M320, one of our bestselling products to this day.

The launch of the IMS platform provides Meinberg devices that are even more flexible—modules for reference source inputs, power supply modules, network connectivity modules, and signal output cards can be easily and quickly replaced even during live operation.

Günter and Werner Meinberg appoint two new experienced faces to help them run the company—software developer Heiko Gerstung and hardware engineer Andre Hartmann become part of the Executive Management.

Meinberg develops the SyncFire 1000, designed for the data centers of major tech companies and capable of synchronizing millions of end devices over the internet. The latest iteration of the line, the SyncFire 1500, supports 10, 25, and 40 Gigabit networks.

Meinberg launches the microSync range of time servers. These devices are designed to be compact and cost-effective alternatives to the more powerful LANTIME series, and remain Meinberg's most cost-effective entry-level solution for PTP synchronization to this day.

Meinberg expands its range of products and services with the acquisition of its Vienna-based supply partner Oregano Systems, a company that is a global leader in the development of technology for the Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

To better support its customers in the USA, Meinberg establishes an office in Santa Rosa, California. This wholly owned subsidiary serves as a direct line for purchases and technical support for U.S. customers.

Günter Meinberg retires from the day-to-day business operations, handing over the reins to his daughter Natalie, who has grown up with the company. Natalie Meinberg handles the Human Resources, Purchasing and Business Development operations at the Executive Management level.

Meinberg opens an office in Bangkok, Thailand, providing a point of contact for customers and distribution partners in South and South-East Asia.

Meinberg expands again—The company builds a two-story office complex next to its production facility, housing 60 employees across 13000 square feet of new space.

Werner Meinberg also retires from the Executive Management. He hands over his place to Meinberg's Head of Software Development, Daniel Boldt, marking the completion of the handover to the next generation in the Executive Management.
