Exmore’s Sensor Cable Processing Expertise

Founded in 1993, Exmore focuses on equipment for sensor cable processing, which makes it a strong fit within the Komax portfolio. The company develops systems for:

  • Cutting and stripping cables

  • Crimping and marking

  • Welding and testing cables and related electronics

Because autonomous vehicles continue to gain traction, manufacturers expect the number of sensor cables in vehicles and related systems to grow sharply. As a result, demand for automated sensor cable processing solutions will also increase, directly aligning with Exmore’s core capabilities.

Market Segments and Customer Base

Exmore, headquartered in Beerse, Belgium, employs around 60 people. Its customers operate in multiple market segments, including:

  • Automotive

  • Consumer electronics

  • Industrial applications

  • Aerospace

  • Medical technology

This broad industry reach gives Komax wider access to sensor‑driven markets that require high‑precision, automated cable processing.

Komax’s Global Footprint and Automation Portfolio

Komax, based in Switzerland, operates production facilities across Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Africa. The company develops both series-production machinery and customer-specific systems, covering a full range of automation and customization levels.

Through more than 40 companies and a workforce of over 2,200 employees, Komax offers local sales and service in over 60 countries via its subsidiaries and independent representatives.
