In the beginning the company was focused on the development of fire protection systems (hold-open systems) with the appropriate tests and approvals. In 1993 the first specifically developed control system was tested by the VdS and in consequence approved by the DIBT (german institute for construction technology). This product is still produced by the Protronic GmbH and has approvals for Europe, USA (FM), Poland, Czech Republic and Russia.
