        Une histoire familiale de 3 générations déjà

        The beginning of Macq

        Founded in 1923 by Clément Macq, our company began with his passion for radios and innovation, marked by the launch of his first TSF receiver. As we grew, we expanded into spectrographic devices in 1946, showcasing our dedication to advanced measurement technologies. In 1961, we achieved a milestone with Europe’s first digital voltmeter, establishing Macq as a pioneering force in technology.

        The Second Generation of Macq

        With Yvon Macq leading the company into its second generation, we embarked on a new era of innovation. In 1968, we launched our first programmable logic controllers (PLC), transforming automation across industries. By 1975, we integrated microprocessors into industrial settings, boosting operational efficiency. In 1983, adopting Unix as our default operating system allowed us to enhance road traffic management, smart buildings, and industrial process control.

        The Third Generation of Macq

        In 1997, François Macq took the helm as the company achieved ISO 9001 certification, highlighting our commitment to quality. Under his leadership, we launched iCar in 2001, an innovative series of intelligent cameras for road traffic management that featured vehicle plate recognition, counting, and classification. Starting in 2010, we experienced significant growth driven by the demand for solutions tailored to urban traffic management. In 2016, we expanded our global sales team, focusing on Smart Mobility and reinforcing our commitment to developing cutting-edge transportation solutions.
