About EMC PARTNER AG
EMC PARTNER AG was founded in 1994 by Martin Lutz in Laufen, northwestern Switzerland, and specializes in high-voltage impulse technology. The company develops, manufactures, tests and calibrates EMC test systems entirely in Switzerland, including ESD generators up to 30 kV, multifunctional impulse generators (EFT/Burst, Surge, Ringwave), combination wave generators up to 18 kV/9 kA, systems for indirect lightning effects per RTCA DO-160 as well as test equipment for MIL-STD-461, telecom standards (ITU-T K20/K21/K44) and energy technology. The products are used in industrial manufacturing, consumer and household electronics, avionics, defense, telecommunications as well as for smart meters, protection devices, charging infrastructure and solar inverters. At the headquarters in Laufen, production and development are complemented by an accredited calibration laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025, SCS 0146) and service; a worldwide network of representatives in around 43 countries and service centers in the USA, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Taiwan, India and South Korea round out the offering.
