Gretag
Gretag, or Gretacoder Data Systems was a manufacturer of crypto equipment, based in Regensdorf, Switzerland. It was led by Dr. Edgar Gretener who was not only a direct competitor of Boris Hagelin, but also co-operated with him in a number of projects. Over the years, Gretag produced a range of commercial, industrial and military cipher machines.

Not much is known about the history of Gretag and Gretacoder Data Systems. You can help us by providing additional information.

In the late 1990s, the company left the crypto market and concentrated on producing colour imaging tools for the graphical industry. Unfortunately, the graphical market was already declining and Gretag finally had to close its doors.
