A BRIEF HISTORY OF THEBEN
It all started in 1921 with the first Schwenk time switch for staircases to stop lighting from being on all the time. The first Theben energy saving product was born and in 1930 this led to the development of the successful ELPHA automatic time switch.
Laying the foundations : Paul Schwenk's drawings for the first "3-minute switch for staircase lighting" from back in 1921. The start of an incredible success story: With over 30 million devices sold, the ELPA has become synonymous with staircase time switches.
In September of 2020, Theben named Paul Sebastian Schwenk (great grandson of Theben founder Paul Schwenk) as Chairman of the Board of Management at Theben AG and Michael Matthesius is the new Chief Technology Officer.

The Theben product line not only includes digital timing controls but an assortment of presence / motion detectors, climate controls and home / building controls. You can visit their web site by clicking the picture to the left.
