Hello,

I just see that news yesterday.
After many years of successful work, the Littfinski DatenTechnik (LDT) company was sold.

For details, please see https://www.ldt-infocent...php?id=en:ldt-infocenter

That's really too bad. I just received my latest order from LDT last week. Their service, whether responding to questions, honouring a warranty case, and order processing was always top notch. Hopefully this will continue under the new ownership.

Hi guys

It would be interesting to know the reason for the sale of LDT.

Is it for reasons of the owner's end of his career or is it for reasons of financial difficulties?

This may have implications for the future of LDT products.

Thank you for your reply

If it is a retirement, as LDT products are excellent (no one will contradict me), I assume that the company's financial situation was excellent at the time of sale and that in the short and medium term LDT products will still be on sale.

As for the distant future, as a retired Belgian accountant, I can say that we can trust the very professional business sense of the Germans, and therefore the managers of the company that bought LDT.

Maybe in a few years, they will change the name of LDT but the LDT concept will remain.

I wouldn't have spoken like that if it were a Chinese company that would have bought the company

This is only what I think

I'm not sure it's the same Buehler; I've tried to Google without any result.

But I'm on bad and slow internet at the moment, so I could have missed the Buehler - Buehler connection.

Per.

Looking through their web site I suspect they may have been doing the electronic assembly for LDT prior to the sale. It would certainly make sense for a small company like LDT to contract out the assembly of their printed circuit boards to a place like Buehler Electronic, putting them through solder reflow machines like they have brings production costs down dramatically.

you see 2 guys shaking hands. It is Mr. Littfinski and Mr. Mörsdorf. At the website of Bühler introducing themself as a company you see a picture of Mr Mörsdorf again

I think this clears up and delete any confusion finally, which Bühler company bought LDT.

Although Mr. Littfinski wrote before: "So habe ich Littfinski DatenTechnik (LDT) zum 1. Februar 2019 an die Firma Bühler electronic GmbH in Fredersdorf, bei Berlin, verkauft." (I sold Littfinski DatenTechnik (LDT) to Bühler electronic GmbH in Fredersdorf, near Berlin, on February 1, 2019.)

Bühler as a name is more often found in the South of Germany or probably even more in Switzerland. But LDT was sold to the only Bühler company in Fredersdorf-Vogelsdorf, which is a pretty small town close to the Prussian Berlin.

Cheers
