Our Motivation
Over the last five decades, PI (Physik Instrumente) has developed into the leading manufacturer of nanopositioning technology. The key element and motivation of the entrepreneurial behavior have always remained the same: Finding the best possible solution for the customer.
PI is well known for the quality of its products and has been one of the leading players in the global market for precision positioning technology for many years. One of the most important building blocks for this is the team spirit within the international PI family, which is based on mutual understanding and support that goes beyond international borders and functional restrictions.
PI is a privately owned company with healthy growth, more than 1000 employees worldwide and a flexible, vertically integrated organization, which enables PI to fulfill almost any request in the field of innovative precision positioning technology. The foremost priority for PI is to be a reliable and highly qualified partner for the customer.
Service and Consulting as Flexible as Your Technical Solution

- Sustainable spare parts service and the ability to supply
- Qualification for every positioning system that is dispatched
- On-site training and individual support
- Aftersales service
- International support
Design and Engineering Services
All key technologies are developed in-house. The technology range at PI allows employees to develop their passion for technology to the full. From precision mechanics and electronics to position-sensor technology, as well as the piezo ceramics and actuators that are developed at our subsidiary PI Ceramic. We develop technologies ranging from basic solutions to application-specific versions. In each case, the best possible solution is achieved by exploiting our high technical potential based on know-how accumulated over many years and the corresponding production capacity.
Vertical Production Range and Production Capacity
Modern production management and an integrated management system allow PI to guarantee the high quality of our products, processes, and services. The continuous improvement of our organization and processes is an integral part of our corporate culture. KAIZEN workshops and actives innovation management are important elements for achieving this.
The production processes for our standard products remain flexible thanks to our fractal manufacturing structure, which allows even large-series production with full process control.
Active, system-based requirements management makes it possible to dispense with comprehensive storage facilities.
The company’s product spectrum, which ranges from the two-ton hexapod to the 10-gram nanopositioner, requires PI to have the necessary equipment and technologies at its disposal for the manufacture, assembly, and qualification of these systems.
