About
In the Fall of 1997 the subsidiary "Gossen Foto- und Lichtmesstechnik" was established as an autonomous company out of parent company
Gossen-Metrawatt GmbH. This new subsidiary of Gossen-Metrawatt was established so that more focus could be placed on Gossen's light measurement division. Gossen focuses entirely on light measurement and as such the company is able to focus its innovative R&D techniques on light measurement to achieve the best product capability and quality.
Today this new subsidiary of Gossen-Metrawatt is still a relatively small but progressive company. It is because of this small size and effective use of resources that Gossen is able to meet the challenges of the constantly growing and quickly varying techniques and technologies of light measurement.
Gossen manufactures light measurement equipment for three business ranges:
Photography, Industrial Light Measurement, and Medical Technology
Photography
Here, Gossen offers a wide range of exposure meters which are suitable for digital as well as for analog photography. These exposure meters meet the challenges of the professional photographers as much as the demands of the enthusiastic amateur photographer.
