Our Founder

ITG founder Dr. Werner F.Auerbacher was born in Germany. His lifelong passion for engineering began as a young boy when he discovered wireless radio and became fascinated by how sound could travel across great distances without wires.

After receiving technical training in Europe, Werner developed extensive expertise in transformers, radio, television, defense electronics, magnetic amplifiers, and magnetic components. Following his move to the United States in 1937, he continued expanding his knowledge in product design, magnetic materials, manufacturing processes, and practical engineering applications.

Combining the precision, discipline, and quality standards associated with German engineering with a deep understanding of both European and American markets, Werner recognized an opportunity to build stronger connections between the two. In 1963, he founded The Inter-Technical Group, Inc (ITG) in New York, helping leading European manufacturers introduce advanced magnetic technologies to customers throughout the Americas.

Werner became more than an engineer. He served as a technical and commercial bridge between Europe and the Americas, fostering mutual understanding and appreciation of European, particularly German, engineering excellence. He established a culture where business relationships are built on technical expertise, professional integrity, reliability, and trust.

For more than sixty years, ITG has been built on values that transcend products, technologies, and markets. Founded by Dr. Werner F. Auerbacher in 1963, the company was established on a foundation of engineering excellence, integrity, innovation, and trust.
