What Datcon does

DATCON Ipari Elektronikai Kft. is a privately held Hungarian industrial electronics manufacturer founded in 1982 and headquartered in Budapest, operating as a Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság (Kft.) with 11-50 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and services its own DT-series portfolio of process measurement and control instruments, including temperature transmitters (DT9500, DT9502, DT4120, DT4122), pressure and differential-pressure transmitters (DT720, DT7100, DT7200, DT7000, DT7001, DT700 DP, DT712 I4), process indicators and panel meters (DT9000, DT9222, DT4227), speed/tachometers (DT920), dosing controllers (DT930), and Ex-certified clocks (DT9100, DT9102). A defining feature of the catalog is a large share of ATEX-certified, intrinsically safe variants (BKI 15/18 ATEX 0007/0027/0028/0033/0036/0037 X) rated for Zone 0, 1, and 2 hazardous areas, with measurement accuracy as tight as 0.03% and IP65 ingress protection. The portfolio also includes galvanic isolators, signal doublers, AC current and voltage transmitters, multifunction power and consumption meters, surge protectors, and Ex isolators/power supplies (DT1300, DT1315).

Revenue is generated through three streams: direct sales of proprietary DT-series instruments, authorized distribution of VEGA level and pressure measurement products (VEGABAR, VEGAWELL, VEGAFLEX, VEGASON, VEGACAL), and calibration and repair services. Go-to-market is sales-led and B2B, conducted through the company website (datcon.hu and the English-language datcon.eu), a WooCommerce-enabled storefront with account-based pricing, downloadable technical documentation, and a limited social presence on LinkedIn and Facebook. Customers are organized by vertical: process manufacturing, hazardous-area industries (oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical) requiring Ex-certified equipment, and energy and utilities. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and RoHS compliance, and was awarded a non-reimbursable EU/Hungarian state grant of 28,529,206 HUF under the GINOP Plusz program (2024-2025) to automate manufacturing testing and modernize marketing, sales, and digital operations through November 2026.
