PI Ceramic has been developing and producing piezo components for actuator and sensor applications at its Lederhose site since 1992. We are one of the international market leaders in the field of piezo technology. 420 employees manufacture piezoceramic actuators, ultrasonic transducers and systems for high-tech markets worldwide.

Assembly processes for precision instrumentation

Our products are used in medical technology, industrial ultrasonic sensor technology and semiconductor technology. In order to be able to manufacture these sophisticated products and customer-specific OEM solutions, we rely on quality management in the complete production process: from mixing, grinding, pressing and sintering to the assembly and joining technology of the ceramic materials.

Our production is characterized by particularly demanding conditions in the interaction between technology and people. Assembly processes for precision equipment manufacturing require a clean room environment of the highest class. There is continuous investment in new machinery. In addition to technological know-how, PI Ceramic always keeps an eye on profitability and team performance.

Top position on the world market

In the future, we want to continue to be a company that drives innovative developments and maintains a leading position on the world market. As the demand for piezo technology increases, we are actively recruiting qualified and motivated employees who want to actively shape the future of the company and our application areas.
