Vero Technologies Ltd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vero Technologies Ltd[1] was a British electronics company founded in England in 1961 by Geoffrey Verdon-Roe, the son of Alliott Verdon Roe, the original founder of Avro, the aircraft manufacturer. The company manufactured various parts for electronic equipment, such as plastic boxes and wire. The company was best known for its 'VERO board' prototyping boards. Vero was acquired by BICC in 1979, and since then has undergone many more acquisitions. When its parent company (APW at the time) finally closed its doors in 2007[2] the company's intellectual property was sold off to various other companies around the world. In particular, the power supplies business to EPLAX GmbH,[3] the prototype and plastic enclosures business to Vero Technologies (trading as verodirect.com)[4] and the 19 inch subrack business to Verotec.[5]
