Total Capability for a World of Pressure

Established in 1972, GE Druck specialisesin the design and manufacture of pressuresensors for a wide range of applications,using micromachined silicon technology.

Silicon technology has a high profile and,despite the proliferation of silicon sensorsdesigned by other companies, GE Druck isan established world leader.

GE Druck has one of the mostcomprehensive and technologicallyadvanced silicon processing facilities. It isone of only a few companies worldwideconverting raw silicon into finishedproducts, by employing techniques such asmicromachining.

Multi-disciplined engineering teams areexperienced in the use of hybrids, ASICs,microprocessors and surface mounttechnology. Together with packagingdesign and other facets of engineering, GEDruck provide a complete solution forpressure measurement.

Silicon sensor technology providesexcellent performance characteristics and amodular design approach allows forflexibility of packaging to suit manydifferent applications.

Shown below is an example of sensorconstruction, silicon processing and also3D solid modelling design tools for fast andaccurate product development.
