What Hommel CS s.r.o. does

Hommel CS s.r.o. (HOMMEL CS) is a privately held Czech limited company headquartered in Teplice, operating since November 26, 2001, as the exclusive sales and service organization of JENOPTIK Industrial Metrology (the HOMMEL-ETAMIC brand) for the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic markets. The company distributes and supports a portfolio of precision industrial metrology equipment including optical measurement systems (Opticline series using shadow-scanning with 0.1 μm CCD resolution), roughness and contour measurement systems (Waveline series with magnetic quick-change sensors), form and roundness measurement stations (Formline, Roundscan), multi-touch pneumatic and inductive gauges (Etamic, Gageline), and specialized systems for cylinder bore inspection (Visionline IPS with 360° panoramic computer vision) and crankshaft/camshaft measurement (Shaftscan, Formline CFM). Proprietary patents include the TwistLive twist analysis method (reducing measurement time by 75%) and the Visionline IPS panoramic inspection system. Evaluation software platforms (Tolaris Optic, Turbo Form, Evovis) integrate with industry-standard statistical process control packages via certified Q-DAS and AQDEF interfaces.

The company operates an accredited calibration laboratory (No. 2421, ČSN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018, granted January 23, 2024) for length and plane angle measurements, a training and demonstration center (Showroom) in Teplice, and a service organization providing maintenance, repair, and technical support. Revenue is generated through four streams: capital equipment sales with installation and configuration services, accredited calibration, paid operator training courses, and recurring service/maintenance contracts. The go-to-market model is direct enterprise field sales through technical sales representatives covering CZ and SK, supported by trade fair participation (International Engineering Fair Brno/MSV), technical content marketing, and direct sales consultation. Customer concentration is in automotive manufacturers and Tier-1 suppliers, with named industry use cases spanning rotary parts, e-mobility components, bearings, and medical implants.

Hommel CS is ultimately owned by JENOPTIK AG, a publicly listed German technology group on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and operates with a lean staff of approximately 7 employees under Managing Director (Jednatel) Ing. Ivan Moltaš. The strategic position is that of a territorially protected regional channel for a global metrology brand rather than an independent product company — revenue scale, product roadmap, and IP generation are predominantly driven by the parent.
