The foundations for this success story were laid in August 1997 when original shareholders, Dr. Ulrich Busch, Torsten Holz and Horst Rau, started their business, with seven employees, in Filderstadt near Stuttgart, Germany. The vision of the founders was clear: they would develop highly beneficial, trendsetting measuring devices, sold and supported worldwide, with a highly qualified team of scientists and engineers, working in close cooperation with those investing in the technology. The commitment, enthusiasm, and creativity of the small team meant that after just nine months the first optical contact angle measuring instrument could be introduced at Analytica in 1998 – a major success!
