Based on decades of experience in measurement technology, 1 September 2014 marked a decisive turning point in eddylab's company history: on this day, the official spin-off took place with a consistent focus on the business areas of inductive displacement transducers (LVDT), eddy current sensors and Magnescale sensors (formerly SONY). This reorganisation was accompanied by the expansion of the development and research areas as well as the expansion of the trading and sales network.
New location, new opportunities: eddylab relocation in 2018
The next important step in the company history of eddylab GmbH was the move in 2018 to a spacious, modern company building in Otterfing, south of Munich. This new location enabled eddylab to expand its production capacities and thus further develop its sensor portfolio. Since then, eddylab has not only been able to tap into international markets and industries, but has also expanded its specialist skills and expertise with new employees and created numerous new apprenticeships.
Development into a specialist for customised sensor solutions
Over the past ten years, eddylab has consistently focussed on the further development of its high-precision measurement technology solutions, which is reflected above all in the expansion of the ed-dylab product portfolio: In addition to eddy current sensors, inductive sensors and touch probes, eddylab has expanded its product range to include laser sensors and draw-wire sensors.

The focus here is on meeting increasing customer requirements for special areas of use and complex industrial applications. Here, eddylab relies on diverse and customised sensor configurations that are tailored to different industries. eddylab demonstrates special expertise in adapting its sensors to particularly challenging areas of application with high temperatures or high pressure, such as those typically found in the energy sector.
eddylab develops sensor technology in accordance with industry-specific standards and guidelines, taking into account, for example, the MIL-ST standards (standard for military and civil applications), the DNV regulations for the marine industry and the RCC-E standard for the safety and reliability of electrical systems in the nuclear energy sector.
Flexibility and expertise as a competitive advantage
'Over the past ten years, eddylab has crystallised and proven its major competitive advantage as a small, medium-sized company with its own sensor manufacturing facility: We are very close to our customers, can react flexibly to special requirements and have access to a wealth of expertise in the field of customer-specific sensor development,’ emphasises CEO and eddylab founder Michael Reiter, who has been supported by Christian Schrick on the management board since 2020 and Emmanuel Laar as an authorised signatory since 2023.
eddylab also has ambitious plans for the future: In addition to the product launch of new, digital electronics, eddylab is planning to develop inductive sensors with ATEX approval that are suitable for use in explosive atmospheres.
