About Swisens

We are a company with experienced specialists and experts in aerosol measurement technology, high-tech engineering, big data and artificial intelligence. We produce and develop high-precision system solutions for the measurement and identification of aerosol particles. With our systems, we aim to uncover more information about the composition of the air and the properties of the particles it contains – at a time when health, knowledge and quality of life on our planet are important.

Co-founder and CEO Erny Niederberger says:

It is amazing how little we know about aerosol particles. We have decided to change this and actively contribute to the existing knowledge about the diversity of particles in the air.
