History

How the company started

ELID’s establishment dates back to 23 years ago on Sept 9, 1989 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The initial 3 partners that formed the core of the Company had already between them many years of experience in the Security Industry. They decided to choose access control as their idea of specialization.

february 1990

Our first product - a single-door access controller, together with magnetic reader and a DOS-based PC software was introduced into the market. The controller used a relatively unknown. Microprocessor chip introduced by Motorola at that time - the MC6HC11, as the main CPU. The product came to be known in the market place as EL2000, and it became a best seller in a number of South East Asian Countries.

Marketing into Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Hong Kong, China, and other Asia countries was thereafter aggressively pursued through sole distributors, one for each country.
