40 years of Pyramid Computer GmbH Welcome to our website!

This year we are celebrating Pyramid's 40th birthday. Our story began in 1985 with desktop PCs - today we are a highly specialized supplier of standardized and customized industrial PCs, servers and self-service terminals.

Being part of a company that has been writing technology history for so long and is one of the traditional IT companies is both a gift and a motivation for me.

Hardly any other industry has changed as much in recent decades as IT. The wind of change blows constantly - and sometimes relentlessly. This makes us all the more proud that we at Pyramid have mastered all the challenges to date, constantly rethought hardware and set trends with our developments. You can find some of these milestones here.

An essential part of our Made in Germany success story is our team. This includes colleagues who have remained loyal to us since the early years. I myself have been working for Pyramid - with a brief interruption - in various positions since 1994. The knowledge and experience of our long-standing employees are just as valuable to us as the ideas and creative drive of our young talents, who bring a breath of fresh air to the company with new perspectives.
