About Movella
Movella is a full-stack provider of sensors, software, and analytics that enable the digitization of movement. The company was formed through the consolidation of mCube, Xsens, and Kinduct. mCube, founded in 2009, was an innovator of inertial sensors, while Xsens, founded in 2000 by Casper Peeters and Per Slycke, specialized in sensor fusion technologies and motion capture. Kinduct, acquired in 2020, added a cloud-based platform for human performance data. In September 2021, the combined entity rebranded as Movella.
Read full description
Movella operates in four primary markets: entertainment, health and sports, and automation and mobility. In the entertainment sector, it provides motion capture technology for films, gaming, and virtual production, with clients including Electronic Arts, EPIC Games, and Netflix. For the health and sports market, Movella offers solutions for performance tracking, injury prevention, and rehabilitation, used by over 500 sports organizations. In automation and mobility, its sensor modules are used for applications like autonomous vehicle navigation and robotics. The company's business model involves selling hardware (sensors, wearable suits), software (MVN Animate, MVN Analyze), and cloud analytics platforms.
The company's core product offerings include the Xsens brand of motion capture systems, such as MVN Animate and MVN Analyze, which use wearable sensors to capture human body motion. It also provides Xsens sensor modules for developers and DOT wearables for human kinematics analysis. The Kinduct platform consolidates biomechanical and biometric data for athletic and health performance insights. Movella went public in February 2023 through a business combination with Pathfinder Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). In May 2025, the company announced the completion of a restructuring transaction, resulting in its equity now being owned by Movella Holdings NewCo, LP, an affiliate of its secured lenders, and it is no longer a public reporting company.
