UTILCELL, s.r.o.

What UTILCELL, s.r.o. does

UTILCELL, s.r.o. is a Czech privately-held manufacturer of industrial force measurement and weighing solutions, founded in 1980 and headquartered in Ostrovacice. The company's core technology is the strain gauge load cell based on the Wheatstone bridge principle, with a product portfolio spanning load cells from 0.3 kg to 400 tons across single point, bending beam, shear beam, double shear, tension, compression, and tension-compression form factors, complemented by custom-designed PIN load cells for OEM applications.

Around the core sensors, UTILCELL has built a full vertical ecosystem: weighing indicators (SWIFT series, SMART, SMART DIGITAL, MATRIX II, 1020), data transmitters and converters (UWT 6008, DAT series, FSU-SSB, LCD20), fieldbus connectivity (PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus), wireless telemetry (T24 and X24 ATEX systems, B24 Bluetooth Low Energy), ATEX-certified components for explosive atmospheres (Zones 0/1/2 gas, 20/21/22 dust), SIL 2-rated safety isolators, and mounting accessories manufactured under EN 1090. The Unified Cloud Sensors (UCS) sub-brand extends this stack into IIoT remote monitoring and cloud analytics, and SensWEIGHT provides wireless weighing-system diagnostics. The product set carries ATEX, OIML R60, NTEP, FM, SIL 2, and IP68/IP69K certifications.

UTILCELL operates a sales-led go-to-market primarily through direct field sales representatives covering the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, with orders accepted by phone, email, fax, in writing, or at the company's premises; the website (multi-language: Czech, English, Polish, German, Spanish) serves as a product catalog and RMA portal. Revenue is generated from hardware sales across load cells, electronics/indicators, accessories, ATEX-certified products, and telemetry, supplemented by IoT/cloud services (UCS) and professional services including calibration through a metrological laboratory opened in 2023. Pricing is quote-based, with a 2-year warranty and 30-day standard payment terms. No external funding, parent company, or disclosed headcount/revenue figures are available in the source material.
