What’s in a name!

KC has been founded in 2007 and the company name brings many associations like the relationship with science where KC stands for kilocycle which is defined as:
“a unit equal to 1000 cycles or used especially as 1000 cycles per second for expressing the frequency of electromagnetic waves (kilohertz). The term kilohertz is now preferred in technical use”.

In 1863 the Scotish scientist James Clerk Maxwell defined the theory which connects electricity and and magnetism called electromagnetism. The application of electromagnetic radation, you will find in many solutions and products such as health care and life sciences, (consumer) electronics, semiconductors, music, lighting, energy, domestic appliances etc. but even our planet is one big magnet !!!It is not a coincidence that our company is active in sectors where technology, sustainability and innovation plays a very important role.However, the explanation for the company name is rather easier to explain than one thinks, because our company name is derived from American friends during the ’90-s as they had (and still might have) difficulties with the pronunciation of my first name hence we have chosen to use KC. Even our logo has an appealing and modern look as it is the “reversed swoosh” sign (based on the 1971 designed famous logo of Nike – the Greek winged goddess of victory).Radiation, motion, just do it, and deliver results are logically the inspiring principles and values of KC.
