Tescan builds advanced imaging systems that help scientists and engineers explore the micro and nano worlds. In doing so, we help turn observation into insight and questions into progress.
Established by a small team of five engineers in 1991, Tescan has grown into a global company with over 800 employees in 11 countries, united by a brand platform to Accelerate the Art of Discovery. Now Tescan technologies play a central role in laboratories around the world, supporting materials research, failure analysis, and nanoscale imaging with nearly 4,500 systems installed in over 80 countries.
Since 2013, Tescan Group has expanded its expertise through a series of acquisitions that have sharpened its technological edge. The merger with ORSAY PHYSICS brought advanced focused ion and electron beam technologies into the Group. In 2018, the acquisition of XRE expanded Tescan’s capabilities in dynamic and micro-CT imaging, opening new possibilities in non-destructive analysis. Another milestone came in 2023. TESCAN ORSAY HOLDING and its subsidiaries were acquired by Carlyle, a U.S.-based private equity firm, marking a new phase of focused investment and global ambition.
In 2024, Tescan Group expanded its technological depth and global footprint. The acquisition of EXpressLO LLC, along with its patent portfolio, added new capabilities in precision stage control and sample handling. That same year, the Group expanded its presence in Asia with the acquisition of TESCAN KOREA Co., Ltd. and DML Co., Ltd. New subsidiaries in Taiwan and Singapore followed, strengthening our commitment to serving scientists where discovery happens.
In 2025, Tescan Group’s commitment to advancing discovery-driven solutions was recognized with a R&D 100 Award in the Analytical/Test category for the TESCAN AMBER X 2, powered by the Mistral™ plasma FIB column.
Tescan Group is headquartered in Brno, Czech Republic, where most systems are designed, assembled, and tested. It’s here that engineering meets purpose and where systems built for discovery are prepared for work in the world’s leading laboratories.
