history

Sartorius

On July 1, 1870, Florence Sartorius opened the F. Sartorius precision engineering workshop in Göttingen. The increasing success of the company was primarily due to the production of the newly developed short-arm analytical balance , which was made from the then new light metal aluminum. The analytical balance prevailed and also enjoyed increasing popularity abroad.

The F. Sartorius company grew steadily and already had over 60 employees when the 3,000th analytical balance was manufactured in 1895. The 10,000th analytical balance was built in 1911; the scales with the number 100,000 were manufactured in 1958. In 1970 the Sartorius company built the first electronic precision and analytical balances. Due to the great demand, the company founded numerous subsidiaries abroad in the following years.

In 1997, Sartorius developed monolithic load cell technology and expanded the industrial product portfolio. This was followed by the acquisition of the Boekels companies in 1998 and GWT in 1999. Boekels was the market leader in quality control, process and metal detection technology at the time. The product portfolio was expanded in 2002 with the introduction of the new Combics industrial scale series. The X-ray inspection technology division was added in 2008.

In 2014, following a restructuring, the “industrial weighing technology” division was renamed from Sartorius to Sartorius Intec and transferred to the Japanese company Minebea Co., Ltd. sold. The name was changed from Sartorius Intec to Minebea Intec in 2016. At the beginning of 2018, Minebea Intec RUS was founded.

Boekels

In 1948 the Boekels company from Aachen developed the world's first metal detector under the direction of Hans Boekels . In the post-war period, the technology was increasingly used in the wood and coal industries and initially for machine protection in order to find remains of bombs, grenades and ammunition. The foreign bodies were detected in tree trunks, for example, to protect the saw blades used in wood production. Metal detectors have also been used on rivers to detect remains of war underwater. Over time, metal detection technology has been increasingly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries and to protect consumers. For a long time, Boekels was the only market provider in many areas of metal detection.

In 1969 Boekels developed the first dynamic checkweigher. In 1998 the Boekels company was acquired by Sartorius AG.

Philips

Philips Electronic Weighing was founded in May 1891 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The company developed and manufactured the world's first wire stretch strips in 1947 . In 1950 the first industrial load cell was developed. A series of eleven different industrial load cell types followed in the years 1953–1956.

The first digital weighing and dosing system followed as a further technological development in 1970. Starting in 1972, the “industrial weighing technology” division was relocated from Eindhoven, Netherlands, to Hamburg, Germany. In 1982, Philips Electronic Weighing developed the first industrial scale for use in hazardous areas there. In 1999, the “industrial weighing technology” division of Philips Electronic Weighing was sold to Global Weighing Technologies GmbH (GWT for short). Shortly afterwards, in 1999, Sartorius AG acquired GWT.
