After considerable growth in recent years and the successful completion of a financing round, FBGS Technologies GmbH launched its expansion project in Jena last September with a groundbreaking ceremony. The new building expands office and production space to over 2,000 m², increasing production capacity many times over. FBGS stands for Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors, which offer countless advantages over conventional sensors. They are completely immune to electromagnetic radiation and so can also be used in high-radiation applications such as medicine or energy. With over 15 years of experience, the company offers customized solutions for strain, pressure, temperature, shape and force sensing. Its customers operate in 36 countries and can be advised in 16 different languages. (maa)
