Allectra GmbH was founded in 2002 in Berlin. Within the first year, the range of Sub-D Feedthroughs and associated connectors and cables was developed and put into production. Allectra’s new range of components was well received by customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, including Universities, major Synchrotron laboratories and High Technology Companies.

In 2003 Allectra Limited was started in Sussex U.K. to provide Sales support for customers in for Great Britain, Scandinavia and Southern Europe. A separate Sales Office was founded in France in 2004. Together this enabled the company to deliver to customers across the whole of Europe. Subsequently distribution was extended to Japan, the United States and India by strategic partners like Vytek.
