innomatec’s history is built on innovation

innomatec was founded with the desire to improve leak testing in manufacturing and a passion and drive for innovation. In June 1983, Dipl.-Ing. Wolfgang Schillings realized this dream, founding innomatec GmbH.

Mr. Schillings set out to innovate traditional testing methods, making leak testing on the production line more accurate and efficient with computer-controlled leak testing equipment, and full turnkey solutions that solved manufacturer's leak testing problems.

Now, over 40 years later, this same spirit of innovation lives on. innomatec's leak testing solutions are being used by the world's largest manufacturers, with a network of sales representatives and service technicians across the globe.
