Holistic checkout concept: As a full-service provider, Polygon combines the know-how of furniture builders and hardware suppliers. This allows us to offer our customers not only innovative concepts for cash desk systems but also individual and flexible designs for the entire checkout area.
Revolutionary parcel delivery: Polygon introduces the new parcel boxes "Paketkasten" for DHL.
Thanks to a large number of orders we now have more than 40 full-time employees.
We launch our own services division to look after After-Sales Service for rollout and service. This allows us to support customers by completing a project in our own name from the stage of product development to series production and on to the services required beyond.
Market launch of our in-house development, the PPU – paper processing unit for employee terminals (ESS kiosks). It allows employees at customer firms who do not have their own computer workstation to independently manage administrative HR concerns at any time. These include holiday applications, accessing the Intranet, printing out slips, internal job applications or payslip printouts. Our employee terminals are perfectly equipped for all these tasks and to this day remain the only certified document security solution available on the market.

We develop the "Design Your Own" kiosk project on behalf of a multinational tobacco group. Set up at temporary events, the kiosks invite people to design and print two-sided cigarette packs.
Operating as general contractor, we are responsible for all sub-projects from the development of a new frontend software and the middleware, also the creation of a special printer and housing and even series production. This is the first time that we have shouldered the responsibility for a rollout in over 40 countries worldwide, also service and support.
The systems are used successfully to this day.

We develop our first interactive kiosk terminal, the Exposer. It is exhibited at the Mac-World, where it is thronged by visitors and warmly received. A new industry emerges, and we decide to become manufacturers of terminals.
We develop an ultrasound cleaning system for oil filters, our first joint order for combined design and engineering. BDI – the Voice of German Industry – recognises the achievement with the 1998 Environmental Award.
It all started with the Polygon idea:
"A tight network of cooperation between designers, engineers and manufacturing experts within one firm will yield innovative products whose look, feel and technology remain in perfect balance."
This creed has lost nothing of its relevance for our company's foremost area of excellence in the intervening years.
