What Suragus does
SURAGUS GmbH is a Dresden-based industrial measurement company founded in 2010 that designs, manufactures, and sells high-frequency eddy current sensors and instruments for non-contact characterization of conductive thin films and bulk materials. Its single-method technology measures sheet resistance, resistivity, metal layer thickness, electrical anisotropy, emissivity, permeability, permittivity, grammage, residual moisture, and displacement without physical contact, with variants extending to in-vacuo operation for deposition cluster tools. The product portfolio spans handheld devices (EddyCus Portable), benchtop and imaging systems (EddyCus lab 2020, map 2530, ResMapper), inline sensor platforms including vacuum-compatible ICM/MCM/SLIM modules, a ring-sensor line for cables, wires, tubes, and slurries, and supporting software (EddyCus Studio, EddyEVA, EC inline Software) plus an SDK for OEM integration.
The company serves process engineers and quality-assurance teams across semiconductor (wafer and boule/ingot characterization, WLP/PLP), photovoltaic (crystalline and thin-film, including HJT), battery and fuel cell manufacturing (MEA, CCM, GDL, bipolar plates, slurry/paste monitoring), display, architectural and automotive glass, carbon fiber composites, and printed electronics. With 2,000+ sensor units installed across six continents and a team of more than 50 engineers, physicists, and technicians at its Dresden R&D and manufacturing site, SURAGUS has scaled from a 2010 spin-out into an established niche metrology vendor. Revenue mechanics combine one-time capital-equipment sales (instruments and inline modules), hardware sales of individual sensors and accessories, software and SDK licensing, and contract measurement services, all sold via a quote-based direct sales model supplemented by a sales-partner channel.
The company is privately held, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or board composition. Distribution is built around a direct sales team, a sales-partner program with structured lead capture, and dense participation in semiconductor, solar, glass, ALD, and display conferences globally. Customers are anonymized across all verticals in the public source material, suggesting a non-reference-driven sales posture typical of B2B industrial capital equipment, and supporting recurring revenue comes from sensors, software updates, and service contracts rather than disclosed subscription ARR.

Suragus product offering
Product offeringCore offering
SURAGUS designs, manufactures, and sells high-frequency eddy current sensors and measurement instruments for non-contact, non-destructive characterization of conductive thin films and bulk materials. The product portfolio spans handheld devices (EddyCus Portable), benchtop laboratory systems (EddyCus lab), semi-automated and fully-automated imaging systems (EddyCus map and ResMapper), and inline sensor platforms for real-time production-line quality assurance. The offering also includes analysis software (EddyCus Studio, EddyEVA), an SDK, calibration reference samples, and contract measurement services.
Product overview
Suragus offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-frequency eddy current measurement solutions spanning from handheld instruments to fully automated inline systems. The product line is organized into three main categories: Single Point Measurement Solutions (EddyCus Portable handheld devices and EddyCus lab benchtop systems for spot measurements), Imaging Solutions (EddyCus map series for 2D resistance mapping with varying automation levels from semi-automated benchtop to fully automated ResMapper), and Inline Sensor Systems (EddyCus inline family for real-time process control including the Sensorline multi-lane configuration, RS ring sensors for wires/tubes/pastes, and vacuum-compatible ICM/MCM/SLIM modules for cluster tool integration). Supporting these core product families is a range of individual sensor modules (Sensor M/S/XS/XXS, Pin Sensor, SemiVac, ASU, Ringsensor), software tools (EddyCus Studio, EddyEVA, EC inline Software), an SDK for system integration, reference calibration samples, and contract measurement services. All products are powered by the company's core eddy current measurement technology for non-contact characterization of conductive thin films and materials.

Suragus competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Filmetrics (KLA): Specializes in thin-film thickness and optical property measurement using reflectometry and related non-contact techniques. Now part of KLA, Filmetrics is the closest direct peer to SURAGUS in benchtop and inline thin-film characterization for semiconductor, display, and PV applications.
- Jandel Engineering: Specializes in four-point probe sheet resistance and resistivity measurement instruments for semiconductor and thin-film applications. Closely comparable to SURAGUS's benchtop EddyCus lab and Portable lines for spot-check sheet-resistance measurements.
- Foerster Group: German-based specialist in eddy current testing, magneto-inductive measurement, and material characterization with a long industrial heritage. Closest direct peer in eddy current measurement technology, with overlap in conductivity and material property testing for industrial customers.
- Four Dimensions Inc. Manufactures automated four-point probe sheet resistance mapping systems for wafer and thin-film homogeneity analysis. Direct competitor to SURAGUS's EddyCus map 2530 and ResMapper imaging systems in semiconductor and PV applications.
- Zetec Inc. Provider of eddy current and ultrasonic NDT instruments and probes for industrial inspection applications. Comparable to SURAGUS in eddy current technology deployment and industrial quality-control use cases.
- Eddyfi Technologies: Global NDT company focused on advanced eddy current, phased array, and electromagnetic inspection technologies for industrial assets. Shares SURAGUS's core eddy-current competency, though Eddyfi primarily serves asset integrity inspection rather than in-line thin-film process control.
Broad incumbents
- Evident (Olympus Industrial): Industrial NDT equipment provider offering eddy current flaw detectors, probes, and instruments. Comparable to SURAGUS in eddy-current-based testing expertise, though Evident focuses on flaw detection rather than thin-film characterization.
- Oxford Instruments: UK-headquartered provider of analytical and process control instruments, including wafer metrology and thin-film deposition tools. Direct overlap with SURAGUS in semiconductor and advanced materials characterization, though Oxford offers a broader technology portfolio.
- Bruker Corporation: Major analytical and materials characterization instrumentation company with products spanning X-ray, AFM, and stylus-based thin-film measurement. Competes with SURAGUS in semiconductor and advanced materials characterization labs, particularly for sheet-resistance and resistivity workflows.
- KLA Corporation: Global leader in semiconductor process control and yield management with a broad portfolio that includes thin-film and sheet-resistance metrology. Overlaps with SURAGUS in wafer and PV thin-film characterization, though KLA operates a far broader multi-modality metrology franchise.
