Two decades ago, with a shared vision for revolutionizing quality control in the flat glass industry, Kai Vogel and Andreas Sandner founded Viprotron GmbH.
Born from the vibrant environment of the Technology and Innovation Centre (TIZ) at Darmstadt University, Viprotron began as a two-man operation fueled by tireless dedication and a passion for precision.
The first milestone arrived in 2004, when their meticulously crafted glass quality inspection scanner was successfully implemented at Glas Dreisbusch. This marked the beginning of a journey that would see Viprotron evolve into a global leader in the field.
Today, Viprotron boasts a team of over 40 skilled professionals across its headquarters in Germany and a subsidiary in the United States. Remaining steadfast in its commitment to quality and craftsmanship, Viprotron remains 100% privately owned by its founders and continues to proudly uphold its “made and developed in Germany” ethos.
While the company has grown far beyond its humble beginnings at TIZ, Viprotron maintains a strong partnership with Darmstadt University, a testament to its dedication to continuous innovation and technological advancement. Over the years, Viprotron’s product portfolio has expanded to encompass inspection systems that cover the entire flat glass production and processing chain, providing comprehensive quality control solutions.
Viprotron has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology, introducing numerous technical innovations that have redefined industry standards. The company’s unwavering commitment to staying abreast of the latest technological advancements, market trends, and customer requirements has been instrumental in its success.
Throughout its journey, Viprotron has consistently embraced challenges as opportunities for growth. By fostering a culture of creativity and innovation, the team has consistently delivered tailored solutions to address specific customer needs, forging strong and enduring relationships built on trust and mutual respect.
As Viprotron celebrates its 20th anniversary, the company stands as a shining example of dedication, innovation, and customer-centricity. With a firm foundation built on the principles of quality, precision, and collaboration, Viprotron is poised to continue its journey of excellence in the years to come, further solidifying its position as a global leader in the flat glass quality control industry.
