History
In 1949 Ángel Iglesias, the company’s founder and current President, began the industrial activities which led IKUSI to become the company it is today. At that time, Spanish households started to receive the TV signals, and household appliances had just started to appear. In the 1960s, the company was structured as a legal entity to form the current IKUSI. In 1964 the Research and Development Department (currently R&D&I) was set up.
Over the following years, until the end of the 1980s, IKUSI diversified its activity to include security technologies, public information systems, remote control devices for cranes and telemetering systems for domestic energy consumption and other services. In 1989, the first products were developed using fibre optic technology, experts systems, etc.
In the 1990s IKUSI started its internationalisation process. At this time, it has subsidiaries in Germany, Australia, Chile, Colombia, United Arab Emirates, France, Mexico, Portugal and Russia, as well as many local offices in over 80 countries worldwide.
IKUSI’s workforce is composed of around 1000 people.
In 2006 IKUSI joined the Leading Brands of Spain Forum.
