Montena is a world-class expert of electromagnetic pulse. Recognized for its know-how, reliability and Swiss quality, Montena is here to listen to your need and bring the right impulse to your progress.

Harnessing the power of electromagnetic pulses to cultivate a safer, healthier and more sustainable world

WHO ARE WE?

Montena is a privately-owned Swiss company focused on providing high tech product portfolio to generate, apply, measure and monitor very fast electromagnetic pulses. For more than 40 years, Montena products and systems, including generators, antennas, measurement devices and software, have been used by EMC test laboratories, research and development departments and industrial companies around the world. 

Montena recently developed a new line of repetitive fast pulse generators to address the growing demand for innovative industrial processing techniques for cell growth acceleration, reversible cell electroporation or cold plasmas. These techniques improve the efficiency and yield of key processes in a wide range of industries, such as food tech, medicine, biology or agriculture.

UNIQUE EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE

Based on our world unique expertise and knowledge, Montena Technology develops and commercializes EM pulse based product and services to improve world sustainability, society integrity and people health.

Mastery of very fast high-voltage pulse technology

Offering comprehensive standard product line and specific EM industrial solutions

Experts in the measurement and analysis of fast high intensity voltage and field transients

Dedicated to functional, reliable Swiss engineering

PROUDLY DELIVERING SWISS ENGINEERING EXPERTISE SINCE 1960

Our activities in the field of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) date back to 1975 with the creation of EMC Fribourg SA which later became Montena EMC. Over the years, the business of developing EMC test & measurement equipment became large enough to be set up as a separate entity, Montena Technology in 2011. 

Since then, Montena has specialized in the development and manufacturing of high-voltage and high-speed pulse generators, as well as in the techniques and tools needed to measure these pulses. 

Montena’s products and solutions are used for EMC testing, for R&D activities in the field of high voltage and high frequency, and for new innovative industrial or medical processes using fast electric field pulses.
