Company

Sensoptic was founded in 1998 by Axel Bertholds and Andreas Braunschweiler as a spin-off company of GF Machining Solutions, Losone, following ten years of development and production of optical sensors for wire electro-discharge machines. The Company remains in the same facilities located in the Italian speaking Canton of Ticino in Southern Switzerland, and is privately owned and managed by the founders.

A bit of history.

Thanks to its extensive know-how in optical sensor technology and micro engineering, Sensoptic was originally established as a designer and manufacturer of innovative precision instruments for a wide variety of customized sensor applications.

Some years later, recognizing a market demand for measuring systems for quality control of small defects on fine wires and filaments, Sensoptic focused its efforts on offering a unique and proprietary range of automatic measuring systems.

Boosted by increasing demand for high quality wires and filaments from European companies and a deeper understanding of customers manufacturing processes, this activity grew steadily over time to become the core business of Sensoptic.
