SCANCON Encoders A/S
SCANCON Encoders A/S is a privately-held manufacturer of incremental and absolute encoders located in Hillerød, Denmark.
The company was founded in 1973 as an engineering design firm. However, it quickly expanded its expertise in designing Ex-proof encoders to include offering a full range of encoders. Over the years, the company has continued to design and manufacture innovative encoder and encoder-related products – and has expanded its sales throughout Europe, China, parts of Asia, South Africa and the North & South American markets.
On January 1st 2014, SCANCON Encoders A/S acquired the Danish company Eltomatic – a manufacturer of Ex approved incremental encoders with more than 35 years of experience with encoders for environments where potentially explosive atmospheres can be expected. Eltomatic A/S continues to operate as a separate division of The Scancon Group and continues to provide its existing range of high quality products.
Together both companies offer a wide range of encoders for all industries – made and designed in Denmark.
