Metrolab celebrates 40 Years in 2025

Since 1985, Metrolab has established itself as the global leader in precision magnetic measurement, designing and manufacturing magnetometers in Switzerland—synonymous with reliability, innovation, and industrial excellence.

Four decades of collaborations with leading MRI manufacturers and physics laboratories worldwide have forged our reputation and earned us enduring trust.

From the start, we have paired R&D with sustainable performance: investing around one-fifth of our revenue and dedicating a similar share of labor hours—often twice the rate of mature high-tech firms.

Forty years later, Metrolab reaffirms its mission: to remain a reliable, innovative, and forward-looking partner, committed to delivering ever-more advanced and sustainable technologies.
