By creating innovative high quality development tools, we help our customers to increase their productivity. Thousands of customers worldwide use our tools.
Our founder, Karl Tauber, has more than 25 years of experience in creating GUIs. Because of the lack of powerful visual GUI builders for Java/Swing, he started in 2003 the development of JFormDesigner, our innovative GUI designer for Java/Swing user interfaces.
