About Comet Group

In the world of high-tech manufacturing, precision is everything. For the makers of the planet's most advanced microchips and electronics, that precision often relies on a company born in Switzerland over 75 years ago: Comet Group. At its core, Comet provides the critical technology—plasma control and X-ray systems—that allows companies in the semiconductor, automotive, and aerospace industries to build smaller, more powerful, and more reliable products. The story begins in 1948, when Comet was founded in Bern, Switzerland. While founder names are not prominently detailed, the company's early focus was on producing X-ray sources. Over the decades, it continually reinvented itself, expanding into vacuum capacitors and eventually radio frequency (RF) technology. This expertise became crucial as the digital age dawned. The rise of semiconductors created a massive demand for precise manufacturing processes, and Comet’s RF technology was essential for controlling the plasmas used to fabricate microchips. A key strategic move was the company's expansion into the US market and its dedicated focus on serving the burgeoning semiconductor industry. This positioned Comet as a critical partner for some of the world's largest tech manufacturers. Headquartered in Flamatt, Switzerland, the firm grew into a global player with a presence in key markets across Europe, the US, and Asia. Comet is publicly traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the ticker COTN. Today, Comet continues to push the boundaries of what's physically possible. The company is focused on developing next-generation inspection systems and integrated RF power platforms to meet the demands of artificial intelligence and the ever-advancing digital world. After more than seven decades, Comet remains a foundational, if often unseen, force driving modern technology forward.
