Premosys

What Premosys does

Premosys GmbH is a German privately held optoelectronic measurement systems company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Kalenborn-Scheuern, Rhineland-Palatinate. The company designs, develops, constructs, and manufactures custom optical sensors and measurement systems for industrial customers across automotive, medical technology, agriculture, plastics/manufacturing, and food/consumer goods. Its product portfolio is organized into six families: lights (LED measurement sensors including the eFLAT-II HG for PWM-modulated and dimly lit LEDs), colors (PR0126-C CIELab color sensors and the newly launched DeltaLab color measurement system), electronics (transmission/opacity measurement), analytics (eFLAT-S compact double spectrometer for medical lamp QA and cyanosis detection), liquids (inline color measurement for molten, liquid, and powdery media), and agrar (IDA distance sensors and spectral measurement systems for soil moisture, vegetation index, and viticulture applications).

Underlying technology centers on proprietary optoelectronic hardware — spectrometers, CIELab color sensors, LED photometry, and spectral imaging — typically exposed via RS232 interfaces for integration into customer production lines. The business model combines one-time hardware sales of sensors and measurement systems with engineering services for custom development and full automated industrial system builds. Go-to-market is sales-led, executed through direct engagement (website contact forms, [email protected]) and a network of international distribution partners for worldwide project realization. The company does not publicly disclose pricing.

The firm is small (11–50 employees), operates as an independent GmbH with no disclosed external equity investors, and has scaled via EU/regional grant funding rather than venture capital. Recent strategic emphasis has been on the DeltaLab product launch (2025), expansion to a Technology Campus financed by the European Fund for Regional Development and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, and entry into the INNOVASTAIN J+ research consortium for medical multi-modal spectral sensing.
