Its history
About Jean-Daniel Carrard, founder of the company:
"Passion drives innovation
After 8 years teaching mechanics and electronics, Jean-Daniel Carrard's professional life has taken a new turn. An accomplished sportsman who windsurfed, hang-glided and paraglided, the entrepreneur felt the need to put his knowledge to good use by developing innovative measurement systems suited to the then-emerging market. And so began the long adventure of JDC Electronic SA.
JDC Electronic SA owes its success and its status as world leader in consumer anemometers to the application of a unique technology: the transmission of speed by magnetic field. Over time, the product range has expanded and JDC Electronic SA has quickly been able to offer its partners a wide range of products to meet everyone's needs.
Then, with the advent of digital technology and smartphones, JDC Electronic SA embarked on the adventure of connected products and now offers weather stations that can delight outdoor enthusiasts, enthusiasts and technology lovers alike. So JDC Electronic SA has even more trump cards up its sleeve for the future!
Creating products is a state of mind and a passion
Today, JDC Electronic SA puts its experience at the disposal of industry and the successes of tomorrow, whose developments are the subject of patents and licences. Being one step ahead of the times is the company's trademark. Innovation and Swiss quality, two values that characterise the ideals of JDC Electronic SA and justify its long life in a sector as characteristic as that of weather and measuring instruments. JDC Electronic SA's strength lies in its ability to develop a product from the idea stage right through to industrialisation, and to do so within extremely tight deadlines.
Across the world
The company now employs around ten people and enjoys an excellent reputation, with 60% of its turnover coming from exports to around 80 countries. Thanks to its human scale, JDC Electronic SA is able to react quickly and find solutions in a short time to the difficulties presented by its partners. Working with JDC Electronic SA means cultivating Swiss excellence.
MADD Technologies Sàrl
With the aim of diversifying its knowledge and professional horizons, JDC Electronic SA acquired MADD Technologies Sàrl in 2008. As a result, the company also develops and manufactures a range of professional weather stations, as well as specific environmental sensors (wind, temperature, fluid speeds, etc.). Always keen to be at the cutting edge of technology, the company now also offers connected sensors using the LoRa® network, as well as a management platform for IoT products.
De Havilland Watches
After 25 years' experience, JDC Electronic SA decided to embark on a watchmaking adventure by developing and manufacturing a watch with totally innovative technology, sold under the De Havilland Watches SA brand. This pilot's watch incorporates unique functions that have led to several patented innovations.
