What Lunitek does

Lunitek S.R.L. is an Italian privately-held company headquartered in Sarzana (La Spezia) that designs and manufactures advanced instruments for seismology and structural health monitoring (SHM). Its proprietary product portfolio under the Lunitek Seismic brand includes the ATLAS family of digital seismic recorders (3/6/9 differential inputs, 24-bit resolution, GPS synchronization, UMTS/HSPA remote connectivity, 15+ hour battery), the Triton digital seismic sensors, the HERMES infrasound sensor used in volcano monitoring (e.g., Mount Etna), the LZERO_PRO and YETI GNSS-based displacement monitoring systems, the SENTINEL family of SHM sensors (X/M/GEO variants), the CASP acoustic emission system, the ASCLEPIUS structural damage evaluation software, and the GEA IoT wireless sensor network. Products are deployed in extreme environments including Antarctica, active volcanoes, the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, the Athens Metro, and Italian nuclear decommissioning sites (Caorso, Trino Vercellese).

Lunitek operates a hybrid business model combining proprietary manufacturing with exclusive Italian distribution for more than 30 international brands (Xsens, NovAtel/Hexagon, OxTS, MicroStrain, Ouster, Race Technology, LabSat, Texense, Calian, NG LITEF, PPM Test, Fastec, Weisang, SinceVision, Alliance Sensors). The company sells proprietary products globally through a network of qualified partners and dealers and sells distributed brands primarily in Italy through direct enterprise sales. Revenue is generated via one-time hardware sales, custom quotation-based project pricing (no public list prices), recurring technical support, calibration, repair services, and firmware updates. The company targets specialized industrial sectors requiring high technical expertise: seismology and geophysics research, structural health monitoring of bridges/dams/towers/skyscrapers, automotive testing and motorsport, rail, precision agriculture, autonomous vehicles and drones, and aerospace/defense.

The company is founder/owner-operated under Italian S.R.L. structure with Mauro Spampani as Amministratore, holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (TÜV Rheinland), and serves over 40 named reference clients including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Leonardo, Stellantis, Pirelli, Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric, ENI, Thales, MBDA, Trenitalia, Alstom, INGV, BMKG, the Italian Civil Protection, and Politecnico di Torino.
