Our Story
Founded in 1993 in Berlin, LLA Instruments GmbH, initially developed laser spectroscopy-based measurement systems for applications in biomedicine, environmental technology, and general industry. The company soon pivoted towards establishing, developing, and marketing automatic sensor-based sorting systems for plastics.
SInce, we have become a renowned developer, manufacturer, and supplier of imaging spectral analytical measurement technology and hyperspectral cameras for sorting applications across the globe. With our very fast hyperspectral cameras, our products are market leaders in recycling.
From November 2023, we became part of Tibidabo Scientific Industries, a global leader of highly differentiated technologies in the scientific and medical research, life sciences, agricultural, recycling, aerospace, defense and security, and industrial markets.
Our Mission
To offer ready-to-use, turn-key sensor solutions to directly provide the information required for process control.
Our products enable customers, in particular machine builders, to achieve excellent industrial optical sorting results for recycling and quality assurance in food processing and functional materials.
We are committed to contributing to a safer and healthier world through our unique science and technology. We want our products to contribute to resource conservation, climate neutrality and a circular economy.
Our Values
Purpose: To become the one-stop shop for industrial sorting in the recycling and food industry.
Collaboration: We offer application development to make it easy for our customers to adapt to specific materials.
Innovation: To find sustainable technical solutions to help protect the environment.
Integrity: Open communication and building trust to encourage successful partnerships.
Customer Focus: We focus on our customers, providing expert advice,to enable our shared success.
Quality: We strive for continuous improvement were quality and safety always take priority
Our Capabilities
With our team of dedicated, in-house experts, we are equipped to find a fitting solution for any sorting challenge.
Thanks to an in-house conveyor system and application laboratories, we have a fully equipped technology centre to carry out realistic on-location tests and demonstrations of applications
Our company headquarters located in Berlin Adlershof, Germany's most advanced science and technology park, enables us to be continuously engaged in a lively exchange of experience and knowledge with the many other local research institutes and companies.
