About MEAS Switzerland

Print

MEAS Switzerland SA is a site of Measurement Specialties Inc (NASDAQ: MEAS). This site was formerly known as Intersema Sensoric SA. It develops, produces and distributes a wide range of pressure sensor products for the worldwide consumer, automotive, medical and industrial markets.
Its expertise includes sensor and IC design, micromachining and assembly technologies, as well as system design and testing of sensor modules.
The sensors manufactured at MEAS Switzerland SA are based on the piezoresisitve technology. They cover a pressure range from 50 mbar up to 50 bars (0.7 to 700 PSI).
MEAS Switzerland SA pressure sensor chips, SMD sensors and digital pressure sensor modules are well known for their superior technology, the resulting measurement accuracy and long term stability. The pressure sensors are widely used in watches, flight instruments, automobiles, home appliances, medical equipment and more. The development of the sensor technology started in the early 90's in cooperation with the famous IMT «Institute of Microtechnology» in Neuchâtel (Switzerland). During 10 years Intersema continued to develop and improve those process capabilities.
In 2009 MEAS Switzerland SA introduced a new family of 24 bit digital modules aimed for mobile applications.
The mission of this site is to design and produce high end miniature pressure systems as barometric devices, liquid level, automotive and HVAC sensors.
