About DIS Sensors
DIS Sensors is a Dutch manufacturer of industrial sensors based in Soest. All products are fully developed, tested and produced in-house. The portfolio comprises inclination sensors (inclinometers), tilt switches, acceleration sensors and rotary encoders, supplemented by cables and accessories. In addition to standard products, the company offers customized sensor solutions – from software adaptations (measuring ranges, filters, outputs) to new housing designs and drop-in replacements, for example as substitutes for banned mercury sensors. The sensors are used, among other things, in lifting and handling technology, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, production machines, medical devices, maritime applications and renewable energies. Sales are handled through a global network of selected distributors, while customers are also supported directly.
