About us

ISETRON engineers and manufactures force measurement technology for cranes and hoists, since 1978.

History

Company

Founded in 1978 by Andreas Pitter; Thomas Köster took the company over in 1987 and relocated it to Sande, Lower Saxony, in 1993. Since 2003 we have been manufacturing at our current site at Elektronikring 8. The managing directorship passed to Christian Bönig in 2018; from summer 2025 the company trades as ISETRON GmbH under managing director Daniel Herrmann.

Capability

Manufacturing in Sande.

Sensors for the safe measurement of tensile and compressive forces on hoists, from a single load pin for a one-off design to series-production overload protection. Manufacturing runs at our Sande site, certified to DIN EN ISO 9001.

Service

Repair and calibration.

Our own sensors we repair and refurbish in our workshop. Sensors from other manufacturers we inspect, calibrate, and replace with a substitute unit when needed.

How we work

Three principles.

From one-offs to series

Every project starts from the application: geometry, load path, environment. From a single piece to series production, manufacturing runs in Sande to DIN EN ISO 9001.

Manufacturer-agnostic service

We repair and refurbish our own units; for sensors from other manufacturers we handle inspection, calibration, and replacement. The measurement chain has to keep running, regardless of whose transducer started the job.

Designed and built on site

Engineering, manufacturing, and final test all under one roof. Short paths, one point of contact.
