CooolCase GmbH, a family run business in Dresden, Germany, has been building computer cases and subracks for the whole range of electronics, from PCBs to OLEDs, since the early 1960s. Marco Siebel spoke with sales manager Udo Gätke about how the company has become one of the last European OEM computer case builders to keep its manufacturing sites in Europe.

do Gätke: “European or German quality still counts with our customers, for whom we design and build OEM computer cases. For major companies like the one that talks of building a smarter planet and the one that stresses sense and simplicity, we have designed and manufactured mechanical subracks for the whole range of electronics, from PCBs to OLEDs.” Cooolcase employs 160 people, and has its production facility in Dresden, where it merged with a mechanical engineering company a couple of years ago in order to better serve its customers. Major investments were made in 3D laser-enabled cutting machines. Udo Gätke: “Since we are a privately owned company, we tend to go about investments and growth expectations more prudently than public companies. We expect growth to come from new energy storing technologies, where they will need cooling solutions.
