– History & Milestones –
i-RED was founded in 2006 by Wolfgang Märzinger and Peter Hintenaus as a spin-off company of the Upper Austrian Research (UAR) GmbH.
The base technology of our process spectrometers was developed by Wolfgang Märzinger during his PhD time at the Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz, Institute of Semiconductor and Solid State Physics. The technology was brought to preliminary product status at the UAR GmbH and RECENDT GmbH, respectively.
Product maturity could be achieved in 2006 by incorporating the expertise of Peter Hintenaus in the field of hardware and software. This laid the foundation stone for business formation in the same year.
Selected milestones from our almost 20-year success story:
PRESENT
04/2024
i-RED goes India
S&W Spectroscopy Systems & Imaging Systems Pvt Ltd, based in Mumbai, becomes the sole distributor of i-RED technology in India.
01/2023
We are expanding
After hiring a new employee towards the end of last year and the noticeably increasing lack of space, we are expanding our premises in the Techcenter Linz Winterhafen.
04/2022
EU project MC4
i-RED becomes a partner in the funded EU project MC4 (“Multi-level Circular Process Chain for Carbon and Glass Fibre Composites”) on the recycling of carbon and glass fiber composites (together with 15 other partners from 9 different EU countries; total funding: approx. € 7.5 million over 3 years).
03/2022
World's first FTNIR Raman process spectrometer
In order to emerge stronger from the corona crisis, we have developed the world's first (combined) FTNIR Raman process spectrometer in recent months and have now launched it on the market.
07/2021
New strategic partnership
First delivery of an i-RED FTNIR process spectrometer to an Austrian partner (industrial plant manufacturer), who equips his systems with our technology, thus creating added value for his own customers and giving us access to completely new markets.
08/2020
i-RED goes Raman
i-RED is expanding its product portfolio with a promising measurement technology and is now also selling its own Raman process spectrometer, which has been developed in close cooperation with a global manufacturer of plastic recycling plants.
04/2019
FTNIR of the latest generation
The effort has paid off: after 5 years of development work, the first FTNIR spectrometer of the latest generation – equipped with completely redesigned electronics, more system resources and increased measurement accuracy – is delivered.
2018
Inline oil analyzer
Delivery of the first mobile measuring station for spectroscopic analysis of engine oils on the engine test bench to a renowned automobile manufacturer.
2016
10th anniversary of i-RED
In May of this year, i-RED celebrates its 10th anniversary and a few months later expands its team with a new employee in R&D and application technology.
