High-tech sensor company

Sensirion is a leading Swiss high-tech company with headquarters in Stäfa in Canton Zurich as well as sales offices in the USA (California), Japan, South Korea, China and Germany. Our highly skilled team of more than 250 employees develops and produces high-quality sensor components and systems for a variety of OEM applications.

In 1998, co-CEOs Felix Mayer and Moritz Lechner founded the company as a spin-off of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. Since then, Sensirion has grown remarkably and has been awarded a number of prizes for its entrepreneurial performance – including the Swiss Economic Award and, very recently, the Ernst & Young "Entrepreneur of the Year® 2010" award.

Twelve years after its founding, Sensirion has established itself in the global market: our sensors are used by the millions in the medical field, in process automation, and in the automotive, HVAC and consumer goods industries.

Sensirion owes its success to its unique and innovative CMOSens® Technology (30 patents). This technology integrates sensor elements and evaluation circuitry within a single semiconductor chip. In the highly competitive global market, this system integration offers unbeatable customer benefits, in particular its high reliability and precision at low cost.

The worldwide sales are backed by a steadily growing international sales network. In addition to our Swiss headquarters and five branch offices, Sensirion is covered by eleven independent representatives and four distributors. The vast technical know-how of our sales and development teams guarantees competent support and efficient customer service.

Our competence as a reliable OEM partner is underlined by a strict quality approach and a professional quality managements system, which has been certified in accordance with the ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949 standards. In addition, Sensirion works on the continuous improvement of its environmental performance. As a consequence of that, Sensirion was certified according to the environmental ISO 14001 standard in March 2011.
