Swiss maker of miniature environmental sensors measuring humidity, temperature, gas, flow and air quality.
Swiss maker of miniature environmental sensors measuring humidity, temperature, gas, flow and air quality.
Sells miniature sensors by the million to device makers, who design one into a product and usually keep it for that product's life. A 1998 spin-off from ETH Zurich, it began with humidity and temperature sensing and added gas, flow and air-quality sensors to reach cars, medical devices and building systems.
In one line: A small, sensor-focused Amphenol.
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, process know-how). CMOSens platform integrates sensing and signal processing on one chip in a competitive niche market.
Headquarters: Staefa, Switzerland · Founded: 1998 · Employees: 1,280
