1984 The Altronic Division of the Economy Engine Company became Altronic, Inc.
1986 The digital instrumentation production facility was enlarged to 16,000 sq ft.
1988 Altronic Controls, a wholly-owned subsidiary, was established in Garland, Texas, to design and manufacture customer gas compressor monitoring and control packages.
1994 A major expansion combined the two separate production facilities into a single, 52,000 sq ft plant.
1996 An 8,500 sq ft Engineering and Development Center was constructed on newly-acquired land near the production facility.
2006 State-of-the-art ignition coil manufacturing was initiated in the Girard facility in a new 12,000 sq ft production area.
2009 Altronic was purchased by HOERBIGER Holding AG, Zug, Switzerland and became the lead plant of the new Engine Solutions business unit.
2010 Altronic, Inc. transitioned to Altronic, LLC. and an 8,500 sq ft addition to the Engineering facility was made to house the Altronic Sales and Service departments.
2016 Altronic, LLC, became part of the HOERBIGER Engine Division.
