The technology company Optris GmbH specializes in the development, production and sales of non-contact infrared thermometers. The product range comprises online sensors as well as portable infrared cameras and pyrometers, which are predominantly used for maintenance and process control.

The concentration on the product segment of infrared sensors requires a strong international alignment of the company. For this reason and due to the enormous economic and technological importance of the Chinese market Optris started a joint venture in the People's Republic of China.

The Shenzhen Optris electronic technology company is the centre of competence for non-contact temperature measurement. The Chinese company develops, produces and markets portable and stationary infrared sensors. Managing director is Mr. David Pan, a recognized and successful specialist in the market of infrared thermometers with the background of many years of experience. His team of development engineers and product managers combines technological expertise with application-specific competence. Engineers in China closely cooperate with the German engineering team in order to use capabilities and potentials of each of the company locations. An important result of the cooperation is the optris® MiniSightPlus - a product made in China. The MiniSightPlus is a compact handheld infrared thermometer with - in its product class - superior optical performance. In both manufacturing locations, special attention is paid to assuring an optimal after sales service for all Optris products.

In addition to portable pyrometers, Optris produces infrared sensors, like the optris® CT, for automation solutions. The optris® CT is a compact infrared sensor with an extremely broad object and ambient temperature range.

To complement the product line the company works together with several business partners in various regions. On the German market Optris cooperates with FLIR Systems in the field of infrared cameras for maintenance applications. In China Optris markets the products of the German infrared technology company Sensortherm due to the manifold applications especially in the local metal-processing industry.
