We look to the future

Sigrist-Photometer AG in Ennetbürgen develops, manufactures and sells high-quality optical measuring instruments for water treatment, the food industry, industrial processes, transport and the environment. The company operates in 80 countries and employs 85 people.

The success story began in 1946 with the first Sigrist photometer, a measuring instrument for monitoring beer filtration. In 2020, the company won the IHZ Innovation Award with an optical measuring device for monitoring washing water on deep-sea vessels. The Sigrist photometers are also used locally. In the Stans water supply, the measuring instruments make a reliable contribution to ensuring perfect drinking water quality (see picture on the right).

The aerial cableway with an open upper deck was inaugurated in 2012 – a world first! By its 10-year anniversary in summer 2022, the CabriO cableway had completed around 100,000 journeys. The exclusivity of the CabriO cableway: It offers a 360-degree panorama without the suspension or the suspension rope obstructing the view. An unusual feature of the CabriO cableway is that the two cabins are each carried by two supporting ropes, each with a track width of 5 metres. Level adjustment ensures that the cabin is always horizontal. The CabriO gives you the feeling of floating – a real CabriO feeling with the wind blowing through your hair!
