About Sercalo

Sercalo has been at the forefront of the Optical Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) for over two decades. Renowned for it’s deep ties to precision engineering and watchmaking, the company has thrived in a competitive market and maintained a reputation for cutting-edge solutions. It has successfully weathered economic storms, remaining a trusted name in fiber optic technology.

“Reliability is not merely a selling point but an ongoing commitment that has cultivated long-term loyalty from many of our clients – some of whom have been partnering with Sercalo for nearly 20 years”, says company founder and CEO Cornel Marxer. Sercalo’s focus on reliability is rooted in stringent process controls and quality assurance measures. Optical MEMS are not mass-produced like consumer electronics; they are custom-built in small batches, which presents challenges in maintaining consistent performance. To address this, Sercalo employs a two-pronged approach: comprehensive process monitoring and 100% product-based testing. By automating many assembly steps, the company has minimized the influence of human error, though the precise nature of fiber optic components still requires significant manual labor. This balance between automation and craftsmanship ensures every product meets the highest quality standards.

Sercalo skills span the entire production process, from MEMS chip design and manufacturing in house to qualification and assembly of all our products. All products are designed and manufactured in house favoring short product development cycles. At the heart of Sercalo manufacturing expertise lies a passionate and knowledgeable team of highly skilled engineers and professionals with fast decision-making and development capabilities. Typically, we complete the proof of concept of a new product in less than 9 months with a time to market below 12 months.
