I came into this blog to clarify what happened with Pendar between 1985 and 1990. I haven't been in contact with anyone since and my sole scope was to inform about Pendar Electronique S.A. during the period we owned this business. Its not my wish to look to see whatever happened after, specially ...

Thats your problem, not mine

Maybe you should talk to Alfons Boets, ex partner and Managing Director at ESM. You could find more information if you contact him. Here is his Facebook Link: https://www.facebook.com/alfons.boets

As far as I know, C.P. Clare was (at the time of the sale to my family of the Proville plant and part of Tongren product lines) fully owned by GENERAL INSTRUMENTS CORPORATION. Just for the information, our family facility in Portugal was also ...

You are absolutely right. Clare switches where manufactured in Tongren, Belgium and in Proville France with US technology. After the sale of C.P. Clare Electronique to my family, the Tongren machines and its engineers where moved to Proville, about two and a half hours away from Proville, France. It ...

Recently I read about the WIKI information on Pendar Electronique S.A. and it seems that the information is unclear so I will explain what happened between December 1985 and 1991 below:

In april of 1985, I myself, was travelling to Strasbourg via Paris and coming from Lisbon where my family had ...
