Bruker Alicona Strengthens Global Lead with Legal Merger
Bruker Alicona, a pioneer in high-resolution optical 3D metrology for production, has taken a significant step in its corporate journey. The company announced the legal merger of Alicona Imaging GmbH with Bruker Austria, effective October 1, 2025.
The merger marks a new milestone for Bruker Alicona, which evolved from a university spin-off in Graz, Austria, to a global leader in its field. Urban Muraus, General Manager, sees this development as a strong signal to employees, customers, and partners, underscoring the importance of metrology in modern production environments.
Since joining the Bruker Group in 2018, Bruker Alicona has scaled its technologies globally while continuing to innovate from its development hub in Raaba/Graz. Its solutions are trusted by manufacturers in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing, where dimensional accuracy and surface integrity are critical.
Following the merger, Bruker Austria GmbH will become the unified legal entity, with its headquarters moving to Raaba/Graz. The personnel from the former Bruker Austria, based in Vienna, will join the operations at Raaba/Graz. The Bruker Alicona brand will remain unchanged, continuing to stand for cutting-edge, high-precision metrology solutions made in Austria.
The merger reinforces Bruker's long-term commitment to Austria and strengthens the local presence of production metrology within its global portfolio. Bruker Alicona's portfolio, including optical metrology solutions used in both manual and automated quality assurance workflows, will continue to shape the future of industrial metrology.
