About ELEMIK

Company history

ELEMIK was founded in 1995 in Wrocław. From the start, our focus was clear: reliable, maintenance-free engineering for timekeeping and automation systems used in demanding outdoor environments.

• 1995

  • Production of 32 tower-clock drive mechanisms — many still operating today (e.g., Kłodzko Town Hall, Szczecin Cathedral).
  • Development and production of electromagnetic striking hammers for hour and quarter strikes.
  • Introduction of radio time synchronization (DCF) for accurate, automatic clock alignment.

• 1996

  • Launch of the electronic chime system Carillon CD, installed in landmark locations and still in use.
  • Start of long-term cooperation with heritage clock conservators, leading to major restorations — including the historic Wrocław Town Hall clock.
  • Development of a special matte dial finishing technology to reduce reflections and improve readability.

• 1999

  • Restoration of the historic Wrocław Town Hall clock.
  • Development of a programmable bell controller (automation and scheduling).

• 2000

  • Introduction of an innovative dial gilding method using 23.75-carat transfer gold leaf with acrylic fixation.

• 2002

  • Standardized decorative clock frames (aluminium + epoxy-glass fill) in multiple sizes (80–150 cm).

• 2003–2004

  • Clock mechanisms prepared for powering illuminated hands.
  • Implementation of LED illumination for dials and hands.

• 2005

  • Design and installation of a landmark 8-meter tower clock with illuminated hands at Opole Power Plant.
  • Programmable bell controllers supported PC configuration workflows and removable storage (e.g., SD cards).
  • Introduction of GPS-based synchronization for tower clock systems.

• 2006–2009

  • Improvements in robustness against interference and power-supply noise (allowing modern switching power supplies).
  • Development of radio control modules and network synchronization concepts for multi-controller installations.
  • Completion of the UNICLOCK concept — a unified time distribution and control system built on years of field experience.

• 2010

  • First modern iteration of our software platform for bells and carillons — a major step toward simpler, more reliable device control.

• 2018

  • Introduction of remote communication capabilities enabling on-demand request/response operation and remote management.

• 2020

  • New generation controller with built-in Wi-Fi and support for industry protocols such as Modbus and CAN.

• 2022

  • Next generation controllers and a fully developed remote management approach using cloud technologies — reflecting our evolution toward modern IoT control.
