About DISA AG Sarnen
DISA AG Sarnen is a locally rooted production and trading company founded in 1948 with an international supplier and customer base. On approximately 2000 m² of production and logistics space in Sarnen, the company with around 25 employees develops, produces and manages its portfolio: force and torque measurement technology, fastening technology, protective covers as well as electrical devices and switches, including its own DISA switches and the M16 motor protection switches. In-house services include a calibration laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 (SCS 0083) for force up to 200 kN and torque up to 1000 Nm, engineering for customer-specific products, strain gauge application for sensor manufacturing and strain analyses, as well as assembly and device manufacturing from material procurement to delivery. In addition, DISA operates the European Service Center for Mark-10 products and verification services for large scales, among other things with the certified mobile wheel load scales SAW III. Customers come from automotive, aerospace, construction, the watch industry as well as research and industry.
