HUBER Diffraktionstechnik was founded by Robert Huber on May 1, 1950, as a specialist engineering company in Rimsting am Chiemsee. Later become involved in the design and production of X-ray cameras and accessories for X-ray fine structural analysis. The exceptional precision and reliability of the instruments produced by Huber ensured that the name became common in laboratories and research centers around the world.

HED PRO-CAST Division has pioneered the development of continuous thick film/tape and web coating production systems which are in widespread use in manufacturing electronic components and advanced materials. Proprietary technology has enabled our customers to set international standards in the production of millions of square inches of thin tape cast ceramic, metal and composite products.

IMCE n.v. was founded in 1995 by father and son Theo Bollen and Bart Bollen. Both were experienced engineers with a fascination for technique. Non-destructive measurements of elastic properties and internal friction by impulse excitation technique. Since the production of the first ceramic parts, people were 'knocking' on these parts to 'hear' if they were well produced. IMCE transferred this ancient technique into a modern and state of the art measurement device.
