NIRteknik

NIRteknik is a technology company focused on near-infrared (NIR) sensing, spectroscopy, and imaging. It develops instruments, components, and software for non-destructive analysis of materials using NIR light.

Founded in 2013 in Stockholm by physicists and engineers, NIRteknik grew from early research in spectroscopic instrumentation and fiber optics. The company emphasizes practical deployment in industrial and research settings, with an emphasis on reliable performance in real-world environments.

Products and technology available from NIRteknik include handheld NIR spectrometers, benchtop systems, and hyperspectral cameras, often based on InGaAs detectors and other NIR sensors. The portfolio also features optical probes, fiber-optic illumination, and modular software for data collection and chemometric analysis. The company supports OEM integrations and provides calibration routines, standards, and software development kits to facilitate system integration.

Applications span agriculture and food quality control (moisture, fat, and sugar content), pharmaceuticals (raw material identification and quality control), medical research (tissue imaging and diagnostic studies), and industrial manufacturing and recycling (material identification and process monitoring).

Operations and partnerships: NIRteknik is headquartered in Stockholm with regional sales partners and serves customers across Europe and North America. It maintains collaborations with universities and research institutes, offering training, maintenance, and customization services, as well as OEM components for system integrators.

Market position and outlook: The company pursues portable, real-time NIR sensing and aims to advance AI-assisted spectral analysis and interoperability with existing data platforms. It emphasizes quality management and ongoing product development to support broad adoption.
