Sensor Instruments GmbH company history
Our history
Established in 1992, Sensor Instruments GmbH has established itself at the cutting edge of the development and production of optoelectronic special sensors. Whilst initially concentrating on industrial forming and glass recycling, we gradually moved into further sectors in which lightly adapted sensors could be deployed, such as the semi-conductor industry and plastics sector. Sensor Instruments then gradually expanded to cater for the automobile industry, the medical technology sector and pharmaceuticals. We are now active in almost all fields and number a range of leading machine constructors amongst our OEM customers. Our success is rooted in our customer-specific approach to problem solving, which is best expressed in our company motto: “let’s make sensors more individual”.
