Rter EPV-Systeme GmbH since decades in the duty of pigeon sports.

The history The company Rter was founded in 1994. The aim of the managing directors Paul and Eckhard Rter was to combine two completely different fields of Know How. These were computer based racing calculation, a field on which Paul Rter was already engaged over 35 years at that time and the special field of Mr. Eckhard Rter, the microelectronic. Out of this combination they developed an electronic clocking system for pigeon sports. Eckhard Rter: "At this time the challenge was to realize a system with modern and complicated electronic in a way that it is easy to handle and to operate for the user".
