Founding of the company Kurt Effner
The Faromed success story began in 1920 with the company Kurt Effner and its manufacture and sale of handheld diagnostic instruments.
Effner also made a name for itself with its special expertise in the development and manufacture of special miniature incandescent lamps. These were not only used for its own instruments, but also as customer-specific products by well-known companies around the world.
