Milestones of the Professional's Brand
40 Years Beha-Amprobe
1974
Christian Beha founded his company in Glottertal (Germany), home of the company’s first headquarters “Föhrental-BEHA-Gebäude”, the town’s former schoolhouse. The first product was the V1X, designed and built to replace the continuity tester he used himself, which had been destroyed due to contact with voltage. It was built in Christian’s own garage and resistant to voltage.
