About us
The German Windows-tuning specialists from TuneUp provide software that allows Windows users to fine-tune their PCs for optimum performance. In 1997, Tibor Schiemann and Christoph Laumann started programming and marketing "TuneUp 97", which was then the first Windows tuning suite available. Extremely powerful and user-friendly, the software is now one of the most successful utility suites in the German-speaking markets. Today TuneUp Products are more than 5 millions times distributed worldwide.
PCs that are maintained using TuneUp Utilities are less cluttered and are proven to work faster and more stable. Since 2003, TuneUp has been expanding internationally: TuneUp Utilities is now available in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish and Italian. End users can buy TuneUp Utilities on the company's homepage (www.tune-up.com). TuneUp Software GmbH has its headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany.
