The Company

DICS Intertrade Ltd. was established in November 1991. It originates from the Department for Development of Means for Distributed Control Systems of the Institute of Instrumentation and Microprocessor Technique of Bulgaria. The main subject of activity of the Company is Research and Development of Electronics for Monitoring and Control, Software, associated with it, producing complete systems on a turn-key basis, as well as customer defined products. Since its establishment, the

Company is developing and manufacturing products for:
· Fodder Producing Plants;
· Washing Powder Installations
· Breweries;
· Embedded Hardware and Software for Automated Packing Machines Manufacturers and Other Customers;
· Building Automation and Others.

The Company was one of the first LonWorks Independent Developers of the technology of Echelon Corporation, USA. The Company maintains a good collaboration with other companies. This enables it to implement large projects. DICS Intertrade takes the responsibility for the Quality of its subcontractors. These relations are well defined and controlled by the ISO 9001 based Quality Assurance System of the Company. In the recent years the Company has specialized in Research, Development and Production of Safety Related Control Systems. Thirty two Protection Systems are now in operation in the Nuclear Power Plants of Bulgaria and Russia. All these systems went through the comprehensive testing and analyses under the supervision of International Inspecting Authorities and were licensed by the National Supervisory Institutions of Bulgaria and Russia. The Company gained a substantial experience and expertise. Now the Company has the know-how and the facilities for performing a very sophisticated tests and treatments of the equipment, which it develops and produces.
