The journey of Toradex began in 2003, not in a conventional garage, but as a spin-off from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Switzerland. The founders, having honed their expertise in delivering applied research in electronics and computer science to various Swiss industries, envisioned a way to provide these high-value services on a larger, more economical scale. This ambition led to the birth of a private company dedicated to strengthening the technological competitiveness of businesses worldwide. The initial years were marked by rapid growth and innovation. In 2004, Toradex introduced its first product, the Colibri PXA270 Computer on Module. This was a significant milestone, and by the time of the volume production start in mid-2005, the company had already garnered a customer base of 40 companies. The momentum continued, and by the Embedded World exhibition in 2006, this number had swelled to 130, with the first customer products based on the Colibri module being showcased.

Recognizing the global potential for their embedded computing solutions, Toradex pioneered the use of a webshop for business-to-business sales, a novel approach at the time. This forward-thinking strategy paid off immediately, with their first online orders coming from as far as Taiwan and the United States. This early success laid the groundwork for international expansion. In 2008, Toradex established its first overseas office in Seattle, USA. This was just the beginning of its global footprint, which soon extended to China, India, and Vietnam. Over the years, the company has continued to expand its reach, with offices in Japan and Brazil, solidifying its presence across key global markets. Today, with over two decades of experience, Toradex stands as a trusted leader in the embedded computing industry, known for its high-quality, reliable System on Modules (SoMs) and a comprehensive ecosystem of software and support. Their commitment to innovation, quality, and long-term product availability has made them the preferred partner for companies developing mission-critical applications in sectors like industrial automation, healthcare, transportation, and IoT.
