About the LINSEIS company
Over 65 years ago, LINSEIS started with the production of recording devices and thermal analysers. We have gladly accepted the challenge of producing the devices you need.
The development and manufacture of thermoanalytical devices requires dedicated research and a high degree of precision work, which we take for granted for the benefit of our customers.
The Linseis recorders were the first devices to be sold worldwide and are still in demand today. Recently, spare parts and pens have continued to be sold by a partner company.

Dr Max Linseis – together with his wife, the physicist founded Linseis Messgeräte GmbH in his garage, which was still typical for a “start-up”. Today, the company employs over 120 people on Vielitzer Strasse in Selb, Germany, in the USA, India and in China.
We live innovation!
LINSEIS has been producing and selling measuring devices in the field of thermal analysis since 1957! So that scientists and engineers can realise innovative ideas and employees can achieve the best results in quality control, we work with our employees on new measuring techniques and continuous product improvements!
In order to achieve our goal, it takes many people working together to the best of their ability to create the success of satisfied customers. I would like to invite you, our valued customers, to send any complaints, suggestions for improvement, ideas and also recognition directly to me via my office (info[at]linseis.de).
