About ELSA

It's The Company You Keep

ELSA delivers the excellence you deserve. For over 15 years, ELSA has been developing, producing and marketing PC peripheral equipment for computer graphics and data communications markets. Our products enjoy world-wide acclaim and are successfully marketed internationally. ELSA's roots can be traced back to the Technical University of Aachen. In 1980, we emerged from an intensely competitive environment in Germany to take a leading position in almost all of the market segments covered by our company. Short development cycles and innovative products with mature technology remain the cornerstones of our continued growth.

Our goal is to maximize advantages for our customers with cutting edge technology, high-quality products and exceptional service. The ELSA Software Advantage is a result of our devotion to driver optimization, application compatibility and easy-to-use utilities. With a solid background of developing high-end computer graphics products for the CAD and visualization market, and a third of our workforce devoted to product development, we are committed to offering a higher level of graphics capability. We want to provide you with an integrated solution for your graphic requirements.

ELSA offers complete 2D and 3D solutions for home entertainment and game users combining everything that one would desire in a single graphics board. ELSA's Erazor series offers record breaking Direct3D with incredible arcade-style performance and quality and outstanding Windows 95 and 98 performance. Based on 128-bit technology, Erazor brings your games to life.

ELSA's GLoria series delivers workstation-class performance to visualization, animation and CAD professionals. With ultra high resolutions in TrueColor OpenGL 3D, the GLoria series offers the ultimate graphics controller for users who demand texture hungry applications to run at high precision, no compromise in real-time 3D.

On June 15, 1998, ELSA AG began trading publicly on the German stock exchange. We are currently ranked fifth in the world for supplying computer graphics solutions and intend to push forward to be among the top three. ELSA, with a market share of 23% worldwide, is the leading supplier of graphics boards to the professional Windows NT workstation market. ELSA's high quality products are rooted in the board design, the hardware developed in-house and an optimally suited software package. Renowned PC manufacturers such as Acer, Compaq, Dell, DTK, Hewlett-Packard, Siemens Nixdorf, Sys Technology, Tri-Star, and UMAX have chosen to market systems with ELSA graphics boards.

Our successes are not only an acknowledgment of our efforts, they are a challenge, motivating us to continue fulfilling the demands of our markets. Over five hundred employees are dedicated to the realization of our goals. What's more, we are determined to further expand our leading position in the markets of computer graphics and data communications equipment.
