Kistler Group (legally registered as Kistler Instrumente AG), headquartered in Winterthur, Switzerland, is an internationally active group of companies specializing measurement technology. The company employs around 2,000 people at more than 60 locations worldwide. In 2024, it generated sales of 448 million Swiss francs. Approximately 9% of revenue flows back into research and technology every year and Kistler holds the rights to around 700 patents. In 1950, Walter P. Kistler patented the charge amplifier he had developed. In 1955, together with Hans Conrad Sonderegger, he founded Kistler Instruments in the USA. At the time, this was a small workshop in North Tonawanda near Buffalo (NY), where electronics and accessories for imported sensors were manufactured. Hans Conrad Sonderegger returned to Switzerland and set up his own business. In 1959, he founded Kistler Instrumente AG, which was dedicated to the development and production of various quartz sensors. In the following years, the Kistler Group expanded abroad, initially by founding subsidiaries in Germany (1963) and the UK (1966).
