They have been able to rely on the company's outstanding solutions for 75 years.
The company has sophisticated know-how in the field of non-contact process measurement technology in different environmental and process conditions and can therefore best serve the constantly new and individual measurement tasks of the various applications. The company's life science solutions are also in demand worldwide for the development of integrated system solutions for bioanalytical purposes in a laboratory environment. In addition, the product portfolio includes solutions in the field of radiation protection measurements in a demanding and highly regulated area where reliable and precise measured values are particularly important.
