TouchNetix was founded in 2010 to bring high quality capacitive touch technology to the broadest possible range of applications and customers.

The founders of TouchNetix bring unrivalled experience in the design and development of HMI, capacitive touch and innovative microcontroller technology. 

The founders of TouchNetix previously formed the core management teams of the Touch Technology and AVR™ Microcontroller Products Groups at Atmel Corporation, subsequently acquired by Microchip Inc.

They were responsible for the definition and delivery of the Atmel maXTouch™ touchscreen driver IC product lines which won hundreds of designs in the Mobile Handset and Mobile Internet Device (MID) markets and which set the standard for early touchscreen products.

In October 2018, TouchNetix announced the introduction of its aXiom™ touchscreen IC, specifically conceived and developed by the company to address the requirements of industrial and automotive applications where consumer electronics based products often fall short of the performance and robustness needed.
