Application-specific OEM temperature sensors, thermocouples and temperature transmitters – from design to series production
Testo Sensor GmbH
LenzkirchNew on Amplifa
OEM specialist for temperature sensors
Testo Sensor GmbH was founded in 2010 as a subsidiary of Testo SE & Co. KGaA and specializes in the development and manufacture of application-specific OEM temperature sensors. As a competence partner and OEM supplier, the company handles projects from specification through design and sample and prototype construction to series production and supply logistics. The semi-automated series production is characterized by high reproducibility, hour-precise traceability and a 100% end-of-line functional test at the start of series production. The required quality and functionality are ensured by means of design and process FMEAs as well as stress tests, life-cycle tests and functional tests in the company's own laboratory. The sensors are used, among other things, in heating and air-conditioning technology, refrigeration, heat meters, mechanical engineering, the plastics industry, household appliances and HoReCa applications. In addition to the OEM business, Testo Sensor operates an online shop with a configurator for over 1,000 temperature sensors, thermocouples and temperature transmitters. The site with development and production is Lenzkirch in the Black Forest.
