Het bedrijf ADB werd opgericht door Adrien De Backer, voor het vervaardigen van elektronisch materiaal. In eerste instantie produceerden zij vooral elektronisch apparatuur voor laboratoria, met name reostaten.Vanaf 1925 starten zij met de productie van variabele transformatoren voor het dimmen van verlichting in theater- en bioscoopzalen. In 1938 werden schijnwerpers toegevoegd aan het gamma. Sinds 1950 startten zij ook met de productie van dimmers op basis van 'Thyratrons', magnetische versterkers en sinds 1965 'Thyristors'. Maar ook de eerste memory control desks op basis van ponskaarten, ferrieten, magneetbanden, diskettes en tenslotte in 1985 op microprocessors. In 1987 wordt ADB overgenomen door de SIEMENS-groep.Het bedrijf liet in 1958 nieuwe kantoren en fabriekshallen ontwerpen door de architecten Henri Montois en Robert Courtois, gelegen in Zaventem langs de nationale weg richting Leuven. Deze locatie past binnen de context van het ontstaan van de industriezone buiten de steden als nieuw vestigingstype voor industriële bedrijven in de jaren 1950. (Dutch)
