40 Years of BECOM Electronics GmbH – Four Decades of Innovation and Community
The year 2025 marks a very special milestone for us: we are celebrating 40 years of BECOM Electronics GmbH – four decades in which our company has continuously evolved, grown, and set new standards.
Founded in 1985, BECOM has developed over the years into an internationally active electronics service provider and is now, in its second generation, a family-run business that truly lives values such as trust, responsibility, and innovation.
Our success is built on continuity, innovative strength, and a corporate culture that places collaboration, responsibility, and progress at its core. Above all, it is our employees who have made this journey possible – with their dedication, creativity, and passion for their work.
To mark our anniversary, we celebrated with nearly 600 guests – focusing especially onour teams, together with selected honorary guests who share a special connection with BECOM. The official ceremony was hosted by Sissy Gamauf-Leitner.
To open the event, Managing Directors Johannes and Roman Bock took the audience on a journey through the world of BECOM – sharing impressions from the past and inspiring outlooks for the future. During the celebrations, Dkfm. Dr. Harald Schermann (Chamber of Commerce), Gerhard Michalitsch (Chamber of Labour), and DI Christian Strasser (Federation of Austrian Industries) were interviewed.
Later, Regional Councillor Dr. Leonhard Schneemann and Mayor Michael Kefeder also addressed the audience.
The closing speech was reserved for Senior CEO Johann Bock. With heartfelt words of gratitude, he spoke to everyone involved – and suddenly, the entire festival tent fell silent, so moving was the moment. His words were met with long-lasting, thunderous applause.
At the celebration held at our headquarters in Hochstraß, there was laughter, reminiscing, and most importantly: gratitude. Gratitude for decades of trust, unity, and tireless dedication – the very qualities that have made BECOM Electronics what it is today.
Even though not all colleagues around the world could be present, our appreciation extends to each and every one of them – at every location, in every department.
Over the past 40 years, we have evolved continuously – technologically, organizationally, and culturally. Today, we stand for state-of-the-art manufacturing, global connectivity, and partnership-based collaboration along the entire value chain.
Our mission remains clear: to grow together with our customers and partners, to shape future technologies, and at the same time to act sustainably and responsibly. That’s why we continue to invest in areas such as digitalization, advanced production processes, international site development, and hands-on training. In doing so, we secure our position as a reliable partner – economically, socially, and environmentally.
With pride and gratitude, we look back on 40 years – and with energy and enthusiasm, we look ahead to all that lies before us. We look forward to what’s yet to come and to the next steps in a connected, dynamic industry.
Together. Innovative. For 40 years – and for many more to come.
