HITEC Luxembourg S.A.

What HITEC Luxembourg S.A. does

HITEC Luxembourg S.A. is a privately held, 100% Luxembourg-owned high-technology company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Mamer, Luxembourg. The company operates four distinct business units: Testing Technologies (carbon black and rubber filler testing instruments such as the A2000, DABS, PMST, and IPHT product families, compliant with ASTM, ISO, DIN and JIS standards); Traffic Management (tunnel and traffic control systems and road information services for public authorities, with stated development toward ITS, connected/autonomous vehicles, and 5G); Space & Satellite Systems (optical and RF ground stations for satellite tracking and control, with contributions to ESA's Space Situational Awareness program and Biomass mission); and Mission Critical (rapidly deployable two-way satellite communication terminals for defense and emergency response).

The company develops and manufactures its testing instruments in-house in Luxembourg and offers customer-specific engineered solutions. Its space ground segment business delivers optical and RF ground stations, including co-development with Belgium's AMOS S.A. of novel antennas for laser satellite communications and quantum key distribution.

HITEC generates revenue through hardware sales of testing instruments and space ground segment products, supplemented by professional services including installation and commissioning, training, preventive and corrective maintenance, spare parts, and customized engineering developments. Distribution occurs through direct enterprise sales, an e-commerce storefront (shop.hitec.lu) with quote-based ordering for testing products, and exclusive regional channel partnerships such as the TOSHNIWAL Brothers agreement for India effective January 2026. Quality credentials include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 (re-certified 2025) and NATO AQAP 2110. The company employs 51-100 people and is led by CEO Philippe Osch and Chief Business Developer Rodolphe Martin.
