Who we are: Future Driven by Precision with Hightech Made in Oldenburg

The SmarAct Group stands for pioneering technologies in high-precision positioning, metrology, and automation. Since our foundation in 2005 in Oldenburg, we have been driving innovations that shape research, manufacturing, and practical applications across a wide range of industries worldwide.

Our mission is clear: we enable our customers to push the boundaries of what is possible and realise the technologies of tomorrow. With over 250 experts, three specialised business units, and a tireless passion for precision, we set standards in a world that is becoming ever smaller, faster, and more networked.

SmarAct solutions are integral to fields where precision is paramount, including semiconductor manufacturing, photonics, life sciences, material science, nanotechnology, and high-energy research. Our systems empower researchers and engineers working in environments ranging from ultra-high vacuum and cryogenics to cleanrooms, addressing challenges such as nanometer-scale alignment, optical assembly, and quantum computing applications. By partnering with our customers, we deliver tailored solutions for applications that drive progress across disciplines.

Milestones – Our Journey Through Space and Time

... and how it's going

Today, we are one of the world's leading group of companies in precision technology. With a team of 250 passionate experts across three business units, proving that the urge for miniaturization is unstoppable.

How it started ...

Every great success story begins with a bold idea. Ours began in a garage in Oldenburg, where Christoph and Axel - two engineers with a vision - laid the foundations for SmarAct.

SmarAct never rests on its laurels. We’re constantly evolving, discovering new horizons, and turning the impossible into reality. Each milestone is a testament to our mission of pushing boundaries and orchestrating the rhythm of the future.
