Comet Holding: the history behind its technology business

Comet traces its history to Switzerland in 1948, when Comet AG was established around X-ray tube technology.

How Comet Holding developed

Over subsequent decades the group broadened from X-ray components into industrial X-ray systems and radio-frequency power technology used in demanding manufacturing processes, including semiconductor production. Its holding-company structure and international footprint developed alongside that diversification.
