Founded in 1991, today’s CUE, a.s. is still managed by its founders. Located in the Czech Republic, CUE was one of the first European companies to develop solutions and manufacture control systems for commercial and residential environments.

The decision to participate in Photokina 1996 was a turning point in CUE history. At this first exhibition, CUE appointed many new distributors. Since then, CUE has expanded to many territories around the world.  
The new decade started. And for us, that meant a new era and even better products. In 2000, we launched our first IP-enabled touch panels. A year after that was the year of a new programming language. It brought programmers comfort and possibly a higher level of productivity. Around the year 2005, we introduced a new family of IP-enabled controllers.

In 2008, we were pleased to equip Microsoft Czech with the CUE room reservation system based on our standard touch panels. This whole project laid the foundations for our current reservation system.  
We developed our current programming tool, Cue Visual Composer, in 2010. It was a revolutionary tool, which is still being used today.

In 2016, we launched our reservation system touchONE. Since then, it has grown into a more complex ecosystem for room and workplace reservation.
