QuartzCom AG

For example, coftech supplied QuartzCom, based in Grenchen, Switzerland, with precision crystals from Japan. With these oscillating crystals, QuartzCom can get the most out of all components in oscillator manufacturing. QuartzCom thus serves a special niche market: crystals and oscillators for special frequencies that are manufactured in small to medium quantities. Because major Japanese quartz manufacturers no longer produce certain. In the past, coftech purchased oscillating crystals for its own production of (VC)TCXOs and other oscillators in Japan. This is because quartz production in small to medium quantities with different frequencies no longer proved attractive for the large Japanese quartz manufacturers. Geared to high volumes, such as those demanded by the consumer goods market, Japanese manufacturers have discontinued the production of precision quartz crystals, which is not very lucrative for them. In order to secure its own procurement of the quartz crystals, QuartzCom invested in a family-run Japanese company that specializes in these very quartz crystals.
