Doris G. Lepper and Peter Lepper (†), the founding family of TechniSat.

From an entrepreneurial idea to a successful family business

When Peter Lepper (†) founded TechniSat in Daun in the Eifel in 1987, it began with an entrepreneurial idea and the ambition to develop innovative technology for people. From these beginnings, TechniSat Digital GmbH has grown into a successful medium-sized family business with several locations. Today, TechniSat stands for high-quality consumer electronics such as digital radios and televisions, innovative reception technology, and solutions and services for business customers in the EMS sector. TechniSat combines many years of experience and its own development and manufacturing expertise with the ambition of making good technology easy to use and accessible to people – and remains closely connected to its roots in Daun in the Eifel to this day.

TechniSat Digital GmbH is a company of the LEPPER Stiftung e.S., founded by Peter and Doris G. Lepper. Within its defined statutory purposes, the LEPPER Stiftung is particularly committed to education, science and research, as well as public health and care.
