PFK Electronics, with subsidiaries in England and Australia
was established in 1985 by a group of engineers with a strong
grounding in design and manufacturing of military electronics.
This group has experienced exponential growth as a result
of its high level of expertise in microprocessor and radio
based systems and in its ability to meet various international
homologation standards. Largely
a company driven by engineering rather than by marketing
its initial humble approach has proved to be the key to
success. PFK relied on innovative designs, personalized
service and relationships to achieve its customer base.
