As part of a strategic realignment, INFICON is withdrawing from the packaging inspection market and has deliberately chosen WITT as its successor to place the future of Contura technology in experienced hands. With the integration of Contura technology, WITT is further expanding its range of leak testing solutions. The owner-managed family business, based in Witten, has specialized in solutions for the food and packaging industries for decades and is one of the world’s leading suppliers of systems for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), gas analysis, and leak testing. Following the acquisition, WITT will assume full responsibility for the development, marketing, service, and ongoing advancement of the existing Contura systems.
“For many years, the Contura product range has been synonymous with precise and reliable leak testing. It was important to us to hand this technology over to a partner who can offer customers long-term continuity and continue to develop the product with technical expertise,” says Dr. Jorge Oevermann, Product Manager for Leak Detection Tools at INFICON.
For existing INFICON customers, this move provides long-term continuity and confidence. Product availability, the supply of spare parts, and the level of service customers have come to expect will continue without interruption and will be ensured through WITT’s global service and partner network.
For WITT, the integration of Contura technology under the name LEAK MASTER® CONTURA into the globally established LEAK MASTER® family represents a valuable addition to its existing portfolio. The technology utilizes a patented pressure differential method that detects leaks without requiring test gases such as CO₂. It enables both micro-leaks in the range of 10 µm and macro-leaks to be detected quickly, reproducibly, and non-destructively across a wide variety of packaging types, such as capsules and pouches.
“With LEAK MASTER® CONTURA, we are expanding our portfolio to include a technically advanced and well-established method that perfectly complements our existing leak testing solutions,” explains Martin Bender, Managing Director at WITT. “This benefits both Contura customers and our current customers, to whom we will now be able to offer an even broader range of high-performance testing technologies for consistent quality assurance.”
