History
Foundation of SET GmbH out of Horst Hammerer Engineering, supporting the aerospace industry with testing solutions. The company will later enter into a joint venture with the Austrian based AVL List GmbH.
First established in the development of the Airbus A380, our new test methodology is considered groundbreaking: With the virtual e-motor, we bring the test bench into the laboratory.
SET Power Systems GmbH is founded as a joint venture between the Wangen based SET GmbH and the AVL List GmbH. The team consists of five employees. First Power-HiL test systems based on SiC for testing high-voltage inverters go into operation at customers’ sites (automotive, R&D).
As of July 1, 2019, SET Power Systems GmbH becomes AVL SET GmbH. Since our foundation in 2012 we have already been a “Member of the AVL Group”. As a joint venture with the AVL List GmbH, headquartered in Graz, we benefit from AVL’s global presence and market-leading position in the field of test systems for the automotive sector.
We are moving again – our new building in the ERBA area in Wangen was finished in May and offers space for up to 250 employees. The highlight is the large roof terrace with a view of the State Garden Show.
And a good reason to celebrate: 10 years AVL SET. The anniversary also took place with many guests in September 2022.
