History

Initially, the company was founded in South Korea in 1985 by Soonam Kim, under the name of Zeus Computer. In 1991, the company moved to Silicon Valley, California and changed its name to Xeltek. The first programmer device that was manufactured by the company was UniPro.

With the launch of SuperPro 2000, the company introduced stand-alone programming to the universal programmer industry in the year of 2000. Stand-alone programming is an application that allows the user to compile supported IC devices on a PC-independent platform through the help of an LCD screen that is mounted on a programming unit.

Xeltek has been business partners with Digi-Key since December, 2013 and Newark since May, 2014.
