Zehntner GmbH
Our work
Zehntner / Proceq
Zehntner GmbH is a Swiss manufacturer of measuring and testing instruments based in Sissach, in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. Its instruments serve two markets: road safety and quality control of industrial coatings, paints and varnishes.
The company was founded in 1966 in Reigoldswil, where Gottlieb Zehntner opened an electronics workshop and repaired record players. In 1992 his son Peter Zehntner took over the business, which became “Zehntner GmbH Testing Instruments”. He refocused it on a single field: the development and manufacture of testing instruments for the paint and varnish industry.
This niche market demands a precise knowledge of international standards. Peter Zehntner sits on expert committees and standardisation bodies, so Zehntner instruments deliver measurements that comply with the regulatory requirements in force.
Two retroreflectometers became the brand’s flagship products: the ZRS 6060, which measures the coefficient of retroreflected luminance of road signs, and the ZRM 6014, which measures the retroreflection of road markings.
For industrial coatings, Zehntner GmbH also offers the ZAA 2600 system, used to apply and then test coatings, along with abrasion testers and drying time recorders. Over fifty years, the company has held its own against BYK-Gardner GmbH, Delta and TQC Sheen.
In 2018, Zehntner was acquired by Proceq SA, a Zurich-based company specialising in non-destructive testing for 65 years. Since 2021, Proceq has been part of Screening Eagle Technologies, formed by its merger with Dreamlab, a software and robotics company based in Singapore.
