About ELKA!
Have a look behind the scenes.
It all started with a garage door opener
The history of ELKA began in 1979 in Kating, when the then 28-year-old Hans-Friedrich Eller founded a company to sell a garage door opener with toothed rack technology, which had previously been developed by his father.
Production started in the cellar of the parental home. By 1985, a nationwide network of resellers had been established, which carried out sales to end customers, assembly and service.
In 1988 the cellar became too small for the 6 employees and ELKA moved into a 400 sqm hall of a former crab factory near the harbour in Tönning. An extension of the product range with slide gate openers, swing gate openers and barriers was well received by the customers. First international business relations with customers in Denmark and the Netherlands were concluded.
Production in Germany
In March 1992 ELKA moved with 12 employees into the newly built 800 sqm company building in the Dithmarscher Street in Tönning. In the following years the company was expanded step by step.
Today, the company premises comprise a 4,000 sqm production and office building. 70 employees develop, produce and distribute ELKA products in more than 80 different countries worldwide.
