XRD Eigenmann GmbH – we move beyond

History

XRD Eigenmann GmbH was founded in 2014 and started operational business in 2015. As a medium-sized family-owned business, it combines continuity and reliability with high flexibility.

We define ourselves in the tradition of the Röntgenwerk Rich. Seifert & Co. After the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895, Richard Seifert senior started already in 1896 with the production of X-ray apparatus and equipment for medical, industrial, and research applications. The production facility Röntgenwerk Rich. Seifert & Co. soon developed to a leading supplier of X-ray equipment.

Starting in the seventies of the past centennial, computerized X-ray diffractometers were developed and built. Under the direction of Dr. A. Haase, this section developed into the business unit SEIFERT Analytical X-Ray, which XRD Eigenmann GmbH is now taking further into the future.
