EOTECH

What EOTECH does

EOTECH SAS is a privately held French company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Marcoussis, France, specializing in high-precision optical measurement instruments. The company operates two divisions: Life Sciences, focused on 3D skin and surface imaging for cosmetics and dermatology research (products include the AEVA-HE² fringe-projection 3D scanner, EvaSKIN, EvaFACE, EvaSURF, MiniSURF optical profilometer, and complementary systems for color, thermal, ultrasound, Raman spectroscopy and TEWL measurement); and Metrology, which serves industrial surface characterization, fiber-optic displacement sensing, and photometric/colorimetric/goniophotometric measurement needs. Core underlying technologies include phase shifting interferometry, fringe projection 3D scanning, confocal techniques, and fiber optic displacement sensing, achieving sub-nanometric to 0.05 µm Z-resolution on flagship products.

The business model is equipment-centric with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing on proprietary instruments distributed globally through direct sales and an international distributor network (notably Skinlabs LLC in the USA and EnvisBE Solutions in India). Revenue is supplemented by services — calibration, maintenance, training, on-demand measurement, analysis, and rental — and by distribution agreements that aggregate third-party instruments (RiverD gen2-SCA, Biox AquaFlux AF200, Philtec fiber optic sensors, LMT/Hagner/Irradiant lighting equipment) under EOTECH's portfolio. Customer segments are primarily the cosmetics industry for skin imaging, with secondary exposure to industrial metrology and academic/research buyers. The firm actively participates in industry trade shows and publishes technical/scientific material to reach clinical study managers, technicians, and marketing professionals in target accounts.

The company is small (9 employees listed), profitable-style bootstrapped (no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company), and privately held, with no revenue or headcount growth data available in the source material. Operating geographies disclosed are France and the USA, with active expansion signals into India in 2025–2026.
