Raytek

What Raytek does

Raytek designs, manufactures, markets, and services a complete line of noncontact infrared temperature measurement instruments, principally spot pyrometers (Raytek Compact CI/CM, Compact GP, Compact MI3, Marathon MM) and the Raynger 3i Plus handheld pyrometer. The Raytek brand operates under Fluke Process Instruments, alongside sister brands Ircon and Datapaq, and is ultimately owned by Fortive Corporation (NYSE: FTV). The underlying technology relies on infrared thermophysics - optical detection of emitted thermal radiation across spot, linescanner, thermal-imaging (ThermoView TV30/TV40), and acoustic-imaging (SV600) form factors - plus thermal profiling systems for furnace, oven, reflow, food, solar, and kiln processes.

The company serves industrial customers across more than a dozen verticals, with the most prominent being metals processing, industrial coatings, construction materials, glass, automotive, paper and converting, plastics, semiconductor, electronics, solar PV, and commercial food processing. Third-party market research (MarketGenics) places metallurgy at approximately 43% of the handheld pyrometer market, with Asia Pacific representing over 52% of global demand. Applications span quality control (avoiding scrap and waste), regulatory compliance (HACCP, aerospace heat treatment, coating-cure standards), energy efficiency, and personnel safety in high-temperature environments.

Revenue is generated predominantly through hardware sales of pyrometers, thermal imagers, linescanners, acoustic imagers, and Datapaq profiling systems, supplemented by service-and-support contracts. Pricing is quote-based rather than list-published, consistent with industrial capital-equipment norms. Go-to-market relies on Fluke Process Instruments' direct sales force, regional sales contacts, and a global channel partner network, supported by a content-led knowledge center, whitepapers, application stories, trade-show presence, and digital lead generation. Branding benefits from inclusion in the broader Fluke Corporation quality-instrument portfolio.
