This is where tolinax researches, develops and makes.
The Think TankThink TankThe tolinax Think Tank is an IoT research lab in the Tegernsee valley that combines product development with hands-on manufacturing services. Here customers develop new products together with tolinax… Tegernsee is our IoTIoTIoT (Internet of Things) is the networking of physical devices over the internet — scanners, terminals, displays and sensors that collect data and talk to the platform. lab and makerspace in Rottach-Egern: workshop, electronics stock, lasers, 3D printing and card printing under one roof. Our own devices are built here – and so are your prototypes, short runs and one-offs.
tolinax consults and develops. To make sure that does not stop at concepts, we built ourselves a place at lake Tegernsee where we research, solder, print and make: the Think Tank Tegernsee. Our wallboards, terminals, control panels and sensors are built here – from the first breadboard to the short run.
We open exactly this equipment to companies and people from the valley: as a manufacturing service, as an electronics stock for pickup and as a partner for your own product ideas.

Developing products together
The Think Tank is workshop and thinking space in one: we plan new products with you and build them right here.
We think of the Think Tank as an IoT research lab: a place where consulting, electronics and manufacturing meet. Many projects start with a sketch and a question — and end with a prototype, a printed card or an engraved part on the workbench.
Because every project is different, we work with quotes instead of price lists. Tell us what you need — we will tell you honestly whether and how we can build it here in the valley.
Think Tank opening hours: Mon, Tue, Thu 9 am–12 pm and 1–4 pm · Wed, Fri 9 am–12 pm · and by appointment.
Tegernseer Straße 89, 83700 Rottach-Egern (Reitrain).
