40 Years of Radiation Protection
Making the invisible visible. Protecting life. A journey through the history of Scienta Envinet
Radioactivity is invisible, odorless, and tasteless – yet potentially dangerous. That’s why the presence of radioactive substances must be detected at an early stage, as the consequences can be far-reaching – for people, the environment, and society.
For 40 years, Scienta Envinet has been dedicated to this challenge. As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of environmental radiation monitoring systems, we develop technologies that make the invisible visible – for greater safety and preparedness in case of an emergency. With precise, robust, and reliable measurement technology deployed as an early warning system, we detect critical developments before they become a threat – making an important contribution to protecting both the environment and the public.
Join us on a journey through the history of Scienta Envinet – from our beginnings to the present day.
💥1985 – The Beginning: Commissioned by the Federal Office of Civil Protection, the company – then known as Hörmann – modernizes and expands the German nationwide radioactivity monitoring network.
2000 – Transition: TechniData AG takes over Hörmann’s Radioactivity Measurement division and continues its development.
2003 – Born in Sweden: Scienta Sensor Systems (originally Scienta SAUNA Systems) is founded to launch the first SAUNA radioxenon measurement system, in close collaboration with the Swedish Defence Research Agency (Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut or FOI).
2010 – Realignment: The business division becomes an independent company – ENVINET GmbH – focusing on environmental monitoring technologies.
2021 – Stronger Together: ENVINET GmbH merges with Scienta Sensor Systems to form today’s Scienta Envinet, part of the Scienta Scientific Group.
Today, Scienta Envinet is a global partner for government agencies, disaster management organizations, energy providers, and international institutions. We don’t just supply instruments – we develop complete, high availability monitoring systems that rapidly analyze, warn, and guide during critical situations.
Here’s to the next 40 years. With innovation, responsibility, and a passion for safety, we continue to move forward – as a leading force in developing artificial intelligence for environmental monitoring, building a world that is prepared for the unexpected.
