Excellent Technologies
Over the years, we’ve evolved from a single-location company into a global group, with team members spread across the world. Together, we’ve developed three key capabilities that define our company and set us apart in the market. These technologies power our three product brands: POSITAL, UBITO, and CODORMO.
High-Performance Signal Tuning: Instead of developing proprietary technology in low-volume contexts, we adapt integrated circuits from high-volume applications and fine-tune them with self-designed algorithms to meet our specific market needs. This capability has been instrumental in the success of our POSITAL industrial and kit rotary encoders and inclinometers.
Wiegand Energy Harvesting: For applications where counting the number of revolutions on a shaft is crucial, Wiegand technology has emerged as a superior alternative to traditional mechanical and battery-buffer solutions. As pioneers in this field, Wiegand technology provides a significant competitive edge, which led to the creation of the UBITO brand, helping companies worldwide integrate this cutting-edge solution into their industries.
Digital Mass Customization: Our unique cloud-based digital platform enables us to manage an extreme level of complexity, delivering millions of built-to-order products within 24-72 hours from local assembly plants around the globe. This platform has transformed our high mix–low volume business model, giving us a strong competitive advantage and opening doors to new markets where customization and rapid delivery are essential.
Position & Motion Sensors
POSITAL is a global leader in sensor manufacturing, providing innovative, high-performance solutions for position, speed, angle, and distance measurement. Our products include rotary encoders (incremental and absolute battery-less), inclinometers, and linear position sensors, designed for diverse applications. With a mass customization approach, POSITAL offers tailored designs for industries such as production machinery, material handling, construction, drives & robotics, and renewable energy. A wide variety of mechanical configurations and communication interfaces ensure seamless integration. Supported by over 250 distributors worldwide, POSITAL delivers precision, reliability, and flexibility to customers across the globe.

Wiegand Technology Experts
UBITO aims to expand Wiegand Technology into new, large market segments by leveraging its deep technical expertise, proprietary production equipment, and robust patent portfolio. We provide high-quality products, along with engineering and intellectual property consulting services, to clients looking to adopt and integrate Wiegand Technology. In 2013, UBITO took over wire production from the world’s leading Wiegand wire manufacturer. Today, we control the entire production chain – from alloy smelting to final sensor assembly – ensuring continuous innovation and product quality.

Door Automation Systems
For 30 years, we were creating safety systems for industrial doors. We have taken this knowledge and applied it to our new line of products. CODORMO aims at revolutionizing the automation of commercial doors. Preventive maintenance, machine learning and internet of things are a few of the pillars of our innovations. Door manufacturers, installers and system integrators can all benefit from the unique advantages our products offer; increased mechanical lifetime, identification of quality issues, remote maintenance, remote software updates and more!
