Automation Dr. Nix GmbH & Co. KG is a German manufacturer of handheld devices for the non-destructive measurement of coating thickness on metallic substrates. Our easy-to-use measuring instruments are "Made in Germany," of high quality, and in demand worldwide.

Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Cologne, the company brings together all its know-how under one roof: We continuously identify customer needs, develop, design and manufacture the QNix ^® series devices, and monitor their quality.

We work daily to develop products that meet our customers' needs and are easy to use. Our goal is to offer you optimal product-related service.

Manufacture instead of mass-produced goods

All coating thickness gauges in the QNix® ^series are developed, manufactured, and tested entirely in-house at our headquarters in Cologne. This makes them "HAND-made in Germany." In our own calibration laboratory, we thoroughly test each coating thickness gauge and issue it with a test certificate. Only then does it ship to you. This high manufacturing quality is reflected above all in the longevity of our products.
