Kvaser’s History
Industry leaders and definers since 1983
We began in the early 1980s to specialize in Distributed Embedded Control Systems. A few years later the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol was published and the first CAN chip made available.
Kvaser’s founders quickly recognised CAN’s many excellent features and understood the impact CAN would have on future embedded control systems. They made the strategic decision to dedicate Kvaser’s resources to producing CAN solutions, becoming one of the first companies to serve the now, almost ubiquitous, CAN industry.
Unique Design...
And a Lot More
You’ll notice that our products look very different compared to others on the market. That’s because we have our users – engineers – uppermost in our mind when we are designing them. Lightweight, ergonomic and yet incredibly durable, Kvaser’s interfaces and dataloggers stand out from the crowd.
