The History and Today of Emfit
Emfit was founded in 1990 in Kuopio, Finland. The starting point of our business was the ferroelectret Emfit film, invented by our company founders. Through extensive product development, electroactive Emfit film has become the technological foundation of our company.
Our first decade was a very busy one. As Emfit sales and staff grew, our sensor design and manufacturing unit was relocated in 1998 to Vaajakoski, part of the city of Jyväskylä, in Central Finland. Today Emfit owns close to 1000 square meter premises in there.
Keijo Korhonen, one of the original founders, was the first managing director until 1998. Heikki Räisänen, a forward-thinking serial entrepreneur and main owner, then headed the company from 1998 until 2009. Emfit then welcomed Teuvo Heikkilä from Nokia, who led the company until 2011. Since then Heikki has again been managing director.
In 2000 Emfit began developing quasi piezoelectric application electronics using embedded digital signal processing. These electronics were first used for elderly care, next for epileptic seizure alarms and soon afterwards for non-body-contact vitals signs monitoring. By company’s 25th anniversary in spring 2015, tens of thousands of alarm systems are in active use throughout the world.
Since 2003 our whole products development focus has been purely on non-contact vital signs and bed monitoring applications. In 2004 we introduced our first non-body-contact vital signs monitor in the Finnish science center, Heureka. A lounge chair with hidden sensors astonished visitors by having the ability to calculate an individual’s heart and respiration rates and then transferring this data to a nearby display. We then demonstrated our first version of our DVM (discreet vitals monitoring) software at a Medica exhibition in 2005.
In 2006, we moved a portion of our R&D department to Frankfurt, Germany. This decision enabled us to become more involved with various research and development projects using our sensor technology in central Europe.
Emfit Corp, our subsidiary for sales and logistics in the United States, was founded in 2006 and is now located in Austin, Texas.
Our worldwide distribution network has ensured a steady increase in the sales of our core products. All our profit has been directed back into research and development and improving existing systems.
We have also been involved developing numerous custom embedded electronics projects for various industrial clients who we serve on steady basis. Our ferroelectret sensor and film license customers include several large corporates who together are employing over one hundred thousand of employees.
