2024 marks the 20th Anniversary of Micro-Epsilon (UK) Ltd. Founded in 1968, Micro-Epsilon is a synonym for high-performance sensor technology. In 2004, Micro-Epsilon UK Limited was established and for 20 years has been proud to support UK industry in the pursuit of MORE PRECISION. The growth of the UK business since it was set up has been consistently strong.
One factor responsible for this continued growth is the company’s impressive product portfolio and innovation. Micro-Epsilon’s comprehensive range of products now includes sensors for displacement, distance, position and length measurement, 2D laser profile sensors and 3D snapshot sensors for dimensional and surface inspection, colour sensors, non-contact temperature sensors, thermal imaging cameras, and full turnkey measurement and inspection systems.
Chris Jones, who has been Managing Director of Micro-Epsilon UK since 2004, comments: “It’s amazing when you look back over the last 20 years at the performance of the UK business, which has grown so rapidly – from a one-man office in Liverpool 20 years ago, to a multi-million pound business. We’ve achieved all of this despite strong competition in the UK and changing market conditions, which have included the 2008 financial crash and more recently the COVID-19 global pandemic. This demonstrates what an incredible effort our staff have made over the last two decades and how our customers continue to value our products and our people so highly.”
As Chris emphasises: “Micro-Epsilon UK is not just a supplier of sensors and measurement systems, but offers installation, training, aftersales service and support, from a UK-based engineering team – something which many competitors do not offer. This gives us a key strategic advantage that is valued by our customer base.”
