What Techimp does

Techimp develops, manufactures, and distributes diagnostic hardware, sensors, software, and accessories for condition monitoring of electrical assets, headquartered in Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna area), Italy. The company specializes in partial discharge (PD) detection and analysis across HV and MV infrastructure — including transformers, power cables, switchgears, rotating machines, and HV GIS systems — using its patented T-F Map filter signal-processing technology as the technical core of the FALCON product line.

The product portfolio is organized around three families: the AQUILA / microAQUILA portable PD acquisition units paired with PDPro analysis software for field testing; the FALCON (FALCON, FALCON MKII, Falcon 4) continuous/online PD monitoring devices for MV switchgear and HV assets; and the GISNOVA SF6 integrated platform combining partial discharge, circuit breaker, and SF6 gas monitoring for HV GIS applications. Supporting these core lines is a broad range of sensors and accessories (HFCT clamps, UHF and TEV antennas, coupling capacitors, calibrators), the EDS MKIII expert diagnostic system, and the TiSCADA SCADA software platform. Techimp operates as a sub-brand under Doble Engineering Company, an ESCO Technologies (NYSE: ESE) subsidiary, and sells globally through Doble's enterprise field-sales organization with ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 17025, and ISO/IEC 17034 certifications backing the diagnostic offering. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of diagnostic instruments, accessories, and one-time software licenses, targeted at power utilities and operators of high and medium voltage electrical infrastructure.
