Company portrait of SebaKMT

Founded in 1951 as a commercial agency for industrial systems, SebaKMT® can look back on a successful company history. For more than 70 years now, SebaKMT® has been developing and producing measuring systems for network monitoring and leak and pipe detection.

Once upon a time

Since the early days of Seba Dynatronic, a consistent company philosophy has ensured the continuous and successful development of the company: founder Dr. Herbert Iann was already driving technological innovation and consistently focusing on new and further developments. Soon after the company was founded, he expanded the company portfolio to include the production and development of measurement technology for leak detection in drinking water distribution networks. This was followed by devices for pipe location (1960s), fault location devices for power cables (1970s) and for telecommunications cables (1980s). The first fully equipped power cable test van was delivered as early as 1971 - the company continues to set standards in this field to this day.

The children of the company founder, Dr. Max Iann and Adriane Iann, who continued to run the company after his death in 1995, also remained true to this line. Securing technological leadership was and is crucial to the company's success. Research and development play a correspondingly prominent role: around 95% of all SebaKMT® products are in-house developments. For this reason, the company also attaches great importance to user training. Since the mid-1990s, SebaKMT® has been offering its customers practical seminars on the latest devices and methods for leak detection, network monitoring, cable fault location and cable diagnostics at the company's own training center.

Since 2012, SebaKMT® has been part of the British Megger Group, a leading global supplier of measuring and testing devices for the energy and water industry. With this merger, the Baunach-based company laid the foundations for further successful growth, expansion of its market position and an even greater international focus: Even before the takeover by Megger, the export share ofSebaKMT® was already around 70%. Together, the companies now offer a unique range of test equipment for the energy and water industry and have a global presence.
