50 YEARS OF MOBILE SPECTROSCOPY

With his passion for spectroscopy, our founder Willi Berstermann has significantly impelled the development of this technology since the 1950s.

50 years ago, in 1972, he presented the world's first mobile spectrometer. He can therefore be called the inventor of mobile spectroscopy

For the first time, it was possible to carry out mix-up checks on large quantities directly in the material warehouse - a major revolution in ensuring the correct materials.

Ever Since then, Belec has been the technology leader in the field of mobile spectroscopy and has continuously developed the technology in a unique dynamic in order to meet the ever-growing requirements of the metal-producing and processing industry.

Whether it was the introduction of the argon-purged probe in 1986 for the precise measurement of carbon, or the first mobile analysis of phosphorus and sulfur in 1992 - it was always Belec Spectrometry that brought these innovations to the market first.

In 2013, we were able to determine nitrogen safely and reliably in duplex steels with our extraordinary UV probe.
