Unobtrusive but indispensable
Founded in 1996, SCHMID mme focuses exclusively on custom electronic engineering. Awarding the privilege to our customers to market their product under their very own brand, SCHMID's engineering services, name, or logo, never foreground on a final product.
Founded by Dipl.-Ing. Steffen Schmid, who still holds CEO position today, the company evolved from specialized audio/video algorithm engineering to a full service engineering company. Today, SCHMID mme offers a comprehensive portfolio of hardware and firmware engineering, enriched with mobile apps development, serving distinct markets as diverse as industrial electronics, instrumentation, and sensing.
