History

Roman Pakholkov founded Promwad in 2004 to design mass-produced electronics devices based on System on a chip (SoC) and Linux. The company started operating from Minsk, Belarus, and gradually moved its business portfolio to the European Union. In 2016, Promwad opened an office in Vilnius, which is now the company's headquarters.[6][7] In 2021, the company delivery office was opened in Germany, and a development centre opened in Latvia.[8]
