OUR STORY

25 Years Driving Electronic Innovation in Germany

We are Rockgate!

Founded in 1999 in the city of Munich, Rockgate has become a cornerstone in the high-quality electronic components industry across Europe. With over 25 years of experience, the company has evolved from humble beginnings into a key player providing advanced technological solutions that drive innovation in various industrial sectors.

The vision behind Rockgate was conceived by its founders, Thomas Richter and Klaus Wagner, two engineers passionate about technology and electronics. After years of working in major tech companies, Thomas and Klaus identified a gap in the market: the lack of access to high-quality electronic components for small and medium-sized companies developing innovative projects. With this need in mind, they decided to open a small warehouse in central Munich, where they began offering carefully selected and rigorously tested electronic components.

 

Early Years and Expansion

During its early years, Rockgate grew slowly, earning a reputation for being a company committed to quality and customer service. The company not only sold products but also provided personalized technical advice to its clients, making it a trusted supplier for startups and small engineering firms across Germany. As demand grew, Rockgate expanded its product catalog, establishing business relationships with electronic component manufacturers worldwide, from Asia to America.

A major turning point came in 2010 when Rockgate embraced digital transformation. This move boosted Rockgate's growth, bringing it into new markets and expanding its customer base.

A Focus on Innovation

Throughout its 25-year history, Rockgate has been characterized by its ability to adapt to technological changes. With the rise of new trends such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and electric mobility, Rockgate has been at the forefront of providing components for these emerging industries. The company has developed a strong research and development division, working closely with manufacturers and clients to create customized solutions that meet the demands of rapidly evolving markets.

Rockgate is not just a distributor of components—it has become a key advisor for engineers and companies seeking innovative solutions for their projects. From small sensors to advanced communication modules, the company offers a wide range of products that meet the highest industry standards.

Looking to the Future

Today, Rockgate celebrates its 25 years of experience with a clear focus on the future. Headquartered in Munich, but with a global reach, the company continues to lead in the distribution of electronic components, acting as a trusted partner for businesses developing revolutionary technologies. The key to Rockgate’s success remains its commitment to quality, innovation, and personalized service—values that have kept the company at the top of the industry for a quarter of a century.

With a solid customer base and a well-established reputation, Rockgate is ready for the next 25 years, prepared to face new technological challenges and continue providing the essential components that bring tomorrow's innovations to life.
