About Polytec

Polytec was founded in 1967 to distribute commercial laser technology to industrial and research markets. Building on the company’s early success, Polytec developed, and then manufactured, innovative laser-based test and measurement instruments beginning in the 1970’s. 

Old and new generations of these products are known around the world as the gold standard in non-contact, laser-based measurement of vibration, speed and length. Advanced product development remains a core strategic activity at Polytec with new electro-optical systems being designed for analytical process measurement, noise analysis, and factory automation.
