About Us
Our company history combines engineering roots, strategic growth, and experienced management.
Our story
The company began operations in 1970 as a Telettra production site for FDM telecommunications equipment.
Over the years, both PDH and SDH Add Drop Multiplexer systems were moved into production and brought to considerable production volumes, and then specialized activities on optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing technology since the late 1990s.
The site meanwhile passed to Alcatel, until 2015 with the acquisition of Flextronics and the transition to an EMS set-up to offer services to more customers and on diversified technologies.
Adriatronics has been the company’s name since 2025, leading to its transition to StarTech Trieste in the last quarter of 2025, with renewed ambitions and a strategic focus on the latest fiber-optic technologies.
