Mr. Hans H. Plisch, an Electronic Engineer by profession founded the company H. PLISCH in the year 1955.Pioneering the Initial Developments of high quality measurement transmitters and Television Control Receivers for the new and expanding TV Stations in Germany, he started off with the broadcasting stations and the German Federal Post - who were then the institution in charge of regulating the use of high frequency distribution.

The development and production of a frequency spectrum receiver system and a antenna spectrum radar receiver system was his next brainchild. These equipments were able to monitor a frequency range up to 300MHz, as well as pin-point the direction of interference transmitters. In the year 1958, this became an absolute necessity as the use of frequency ranges increased drastically.

When TV2 in Germany started broadcasting , the German Federal Post extended the UHF broadcasting network and relied on Plisch to develop the first Frequency Converter from IF to UHF. This development in 1964 gave birth to the first range of tuneable coaxial cavity resonator with a gold plated surface, which eliminates the need for maintenance.

Sales of TV frequency converters and interference measurement equipment increased by the year 1966 and with increasing sales volume, Plisch reinvested their huge profits into R&D and in 1968 developed a frequency transposer with a output power of 1kW.

This Coaxial Cavity Resonator technology was the base of all High Powered Transmitters with 10kW and 20kW capacity you see today. In 1969 when Solid State Technology was introduced the development of VHF/ UHF transposers ranging from 1 Watt to 20 Watt in fully solid-state technique was put in place.

This followed with the development of 2.5 and 10kW transmitters, which transpired during the years 1970 to 1975 when Plisch introduced the linearity pre-correctors to greatly improve the "radius of activity".

While others were looking at the advancement of Plisch as leaders in transmitter technology, Plisch once again surprised the world with the introduction of the "Jolly B" - the first transposer using modular architecture.

The Industry in 1978 saw this Modular Technology as a Miracle to Service Engineers. Faulty modules were simply exchangeable without costly repairs or site maintenance.

Plisch's tube power amplifiers up to 20kW with maintenance free coaxial cavity resonator were also marketed & sold worldwide by Rohde & Schwarz, then a new comers to the Transmission scene.

Plisch concentrated further in Research and Development and was responsible for the first hyper-vapotron cooling system. At this stage annual sales of transposers and transmitters reached 1000 pcs per year.

During the 90s Plisch's number of employees grew to 250 with a turn over of more than DM 55,000,000 per year.

With new and more effective cooling methods being developed. together with changes from bipolar transistors to LDMOS Technology European Broadcasters bought up more than 150 DAB Transmitters and 50 DVB Transmitters quickly during the end of the Nineties.

The turn of the Century Plisch product range was completely revised and a complete modular system ranging from 1 Watt to 80kW using state of the art LDMOS technology and the latest remote control systems (SNMP, Bit Bus, R232, modem and serial ports ) was developed for both analogue and digital in VHF and UHF .Plisch decides to expand its frontiers internationally and increased its revenues by 30%. This made way to a second generation of digital TV systems - DAB & DVT-T. Automatic Linearity Pre-Correctors and Management Systems which completed the product range of Plisch .

Plisch, with the Plug in Technology could transform its Transmitters from Analogue to DVB-T and DAB by just a simple switch command. This allowed a TV Channel to transmit in Analogue during the Day and switch to Digital for test trials in the night. Or even use it as a DAB Transmitter.

This was branded as THE BRILLIANCE OF PLISCH TECHNOLOGY.

To expand further into the world market, Plisch set up an office in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia in 2004. In recognition of its rapidly expanding presence in Asia Pacific, Plisch opens a new regional headquarters for the Asia Pacific region in Singapore in 2004. The office will greatly expand its current area operations in the region. The new regional office will be responsible for the operations, finance, sales and marketing of Plisch Products in the Asia Pacific region and provide after sales service with inventory of spare parts to be readily available for all its distributors in Asia. Plisch presence in Asia includes offices in Thailand which opens in March 2009 and China, shortly after in April 2009.

Expected revenue of increases in the Asian market is set around 35%.

Today, Plisch is not only an Industry Leader but also an International Company with a solid financial foundation still exploring the frontier for State of the Art Transmission technology with products and services beyond any comparison.
