FIDURA Private Equity Funds, along with other investors, participated in a financing round exceeding €8 million to support the growth of Senorics GmbH, which specializes in innovative near-infrared spectroscopy sensors.

Target Company Overview

Senorics GmbH, based in Dresden, Germany, was founded in 2017 as a spin-off from the Institute of Applied Physics at the Technical University of Dresden (TU Dresden). The institute, led by Professor Dr. Karl Leo, is a global leader in optoelectronics and has played a significant role in the technological foundations of Senorics. The company is dedicated to developing innovative near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy sensors for non-contact material identification, employing patented sensor technology that allows for highly accurate measurement and identification of substances and impurities in various solids and liquids.

The sensor technology utilizes chemically tailored organic semiconductor materials structured as thin films into compact infrared detectors. This enables Senorics to produce highly compact wavelength-selective sensor arrays. The data collected by these sensor arrays is analyzed using application-specific software, providing precise results applicable in industrial quality control and process monitoring.
