Founded in 2008 as a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA) in Thun, Alemnis began as Alemnis Sàrl, driven by four visionary co-founders. With a strong foundation in research and development, the company quickly gained recognition for its groundbreaking innovations in scientific test instrumentation.

In 2013, Dr. Jean-Marc Bréguet, a co-founder with extensive industrial and R&D expertise, was appointed CEO. Under his leadership, Alemnis accelerated its growth, pushing the boundaries of precision testing technology and expanding its impact across academia and industry.

Alemnis revolutionised material testing by introducing an innovative instrument that integrates seamlessly with scanning electron microscopes (SEM), allowing real-time visualisation of material deformation in situ. This game-changing approach set Alemnis apart from competitors in the UK and the USA, offering unmatched cost-effectiveness, versatility, and the ability to conduct tests under extreme deformation velocities. Unlike traditional methods that required seconds to complete, Alemnis’s high-speed technology enables testing within milliseconds, unlocking new frontiers in material analysis and scientific discovery.

We design and develop cutting-edge instruments for high-tech companies, leading academic researchers, and national research labs pushing the limits of science. Our solutions enable groundbreaking research by providing precision, reliability, and the flexibility to explore new frontiers.

With a commitment to innovation and quality, we deliver state-of-the-art testing instruments that empower our customers to think beyond conventional approaches. By optimising our processes and supply chain, we ensure timely delivery without compromising excellence.
