History

In January, our founder and long-time CEO, Robert Endress, will enter well-deserved retirement after more than 31 years. He laid the groundwork for the generational transition back in 2022 by bringing Moritz Noe and Sebastian Vogt on board as partners and managing directors. With the acquisition of Provitec GmbH, the two of them will carry on his life’s work and shape the company’s future on this proven foundation.

Micro-Epsilon and Provitec form a system partnership in non-contact measurement technology.
