About Us

World Headquarters			North American Headquarters
The group headquarters, Zumbach Electronic AG, is in Orpund/Switzerland. Orpund is very close to the city of Biel-Bienne, conveniently located in North-Western Switzerland, and can easily be reached within 2 hours by direct trains or car from the major airports, Zürich, Geneva and Basel. The Swiss capital, Berne, is only 30 km or half an hour away by road or train.			Zumbach first entered the U.S. market in 1970, selling eccentricity and wall-thickness monitors. In order to better serve the North American market, Zumbach Electronics Corp. was founded in May 1976 and its first Sales Support Center was implemented in Elmsford, NY. Soon the best selling ZUMBACH instruments were assembled here, calling for more and more manufacturing space. In 1983, this led to the move into a modern 15,000 sq. ft. facility which had been purchased in Mount Kisco NY. The US division now has over 50 employees and serves a wide range of industrial clients in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. The staff includes sales and service specialists, electronics designers, and software programmers as well as production and testing personnel. A number of products are exported around the world through the international sales channels of the Zumbach Group.

ZUMBACH ELECTRONICS is one of the leading manufacturer of in-line measuring, monitoring and control systems for the wire and cable industry, (from wire drawing to fiber optics, including extrusion of insulation and jackets), for plastic extrusion lines (mono filaments, catheter, tubing, pipe or profiles) and for the metal industry (hot and cold rolling, continuous casting, turning, grinding, polishing to QC inspection stations).

ZUMBACH instruments measure diameter (Laser Micrometers), wall thickness and concentricity (ultrasonic or eddy current principle), and detect lumps/neckdowns (optical flaw detectors). Specialized sensors monitor the capacitance of data wires and coaxial cables. - Controllers with application specific algorithms shorten start-up times, minimize scrap production and material usage. Data acquisition and FFT analysis are offered as well. A line of inductive preheaters for metal conductors, spark testers for in-line testing of the dielectric,  optical surface inspection system, and in-line profile monitoring systems complete the ZUMBACH line of industrial precision equipment.
