Ultrasound in motion
Ultrasonic transducers are crucial for the function of parking aids and reversing sensors as well as cash dispensers and wind turbines, as they enable fast and precise measurements. SECO Sensor Consult GmbH is a leader in the development and production of ultrasonic transducers in many areas. The company, based in Coburg, hit the technological nerve right from the time it was founded. For more than ten years, SECO’s managing partner Dipl.-Ing. (FH) Thomas Siebenhaar worked for a large German electronics group. Initially, he was involved in the production of casting resins and soldering fluxes.
In 1989, he joined his colleague Thomas Möckl in the development and optimization of ultrasonic transducers. This laid the foundation for today’s company. “In 1996, the main source of sales was outsourced to the UK, which meant that there was no longer a need for developers at this location. We came to the conclusion that we could handle this issue with two people. One colleague from production, which helped us a lot,” says Thomas Siebenhaar. SECO Sensor Consult was born. At the end of 1996, the company began manufacturing in the Coburg Technology Center on an area of 50 m² and served various customers with its ultrasonic transducers. “It was exactly the right time, because this technology was really taking off at the time, also in the wake of automation,” recalls Thomas Siebenhaar.
