FUEL THOUGHT for OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 50 Years of KELLER Pressure analytica Vietnam 2025: Expanding horizons and record growth
The 8th edition of analytica Vietnam, scheduled for 2-4 April 2025, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City, is set to be the largest and most influential gathering to date. The exhibition boasts a 30% increase in space, with over 85% already sold out. This growth reflects a surge in interest and participation, with over 300 exhibitors and brands expected, drawing more than 6,000 attendees from around the globe.
A significant expansion from the previous editions, analytica Vietnam 2025 will not only feature a larger number of exhibitors but also introduce several exciting new elements. Notably, the Startup Pavilion will debut, offering a platform for innovative young companies to showcase their ground-breaking solutions. This initiative aims to foster a dynamic environment for collaboration between entrepreneurs, academia, industry leaders, and investors, paving the way for cutting-edge advancements.
Another notable addition is the Lab Design & Construction Section, which will focus on the latest trends and technologies in building state-of-the- art laboratory facilities. This section will address critical topics such as lab design, construction standards, safety, and operational management, all of which are crucial for Vietnam’s burgeoning laboratory infrastructure.
Furthermore, the event will feature an expanded international presence, with pavilions from countries such as Singapore, Germany, China, Korea, and the UK. These pavilions will showcase the latest advancements from leading laboratory technology hubs, offering attendees a global perspective on industry innovations.
KELLER Pressure was established in Winterthur, Switzerland in 1974 by physicist Hannes W. Keller, the inventor of the integrated silicon measuring cell. This year, KELLER is looking back on half a century of history, development and experience.
KELLER was a child of the 1970s, when glitzy disco balls and bell bottoms were the order of the day. To allow him to continue developing silicon pressure sensors according to his own design, Hannes W. Keller founded the company then called «H.W. KELLER dipl. phys. ETH Druck- und Kraftmesstechnik», now known as «KELLER Druckmesstechnik AG», in Winterthur in 1974.
The company got off to a rocky start. Tobias Keller remembers how his father often improvised by using his mother’s oven for hours on end to test his sensors at different temperatures. There were times when he was unable to pay the salaries of the few employees he had due to a lack of orders. Banks had no faith in his father’s idea either and refused to lend him credit. Financial assistance from Tobias’s grandfather allowed Hannes to keep KELLER alive during this difficult time.
Hannes W. Keller was known for his great resilience and persistence, which ultimately paid off. KELLER would soon find its footing. Growth was spurred on by the fact that, as an established OEM pressure transducer supplier, KELLER took advantage of the international market as a provider of pressure transmitters in the early 80s.
The two brothers Tobias and Mike Keller have been managing the company since 2019 and still rely on independence, healthy, organic growth and their headquarters and production site in Winterthur, where 1,3 million measuring cells are manufactured every year. With around 500 employees, 11 KELLER branches to date and around 30 distribution representatives globally, the «KELLER Pressure» brand is an international symbol of high-precision pressure measurement technology and rightly bears the «Made in Switzerland» seal of quality.
The complete KELLER range includes pressure transducers and pressure transmitters, gauges, level probes, data loggers, remote transmission units and pressure calibrators. The products are as diverse as their fields of application. KELLER pressure sensors are found in dive computers, coffee machines and laboratories. They are used in groundwater and level measurement and in engine test benches; they regulate the cabin pressure in aeroplanes; they monitor pressure peaks in the oil and gas industry; and they provide protection in explosive applications such as hydrogen production. In short, KELLER products are found in all sectors where pressure must be measured.
The KELLER company will continue playing to its strengths in future. Now as before, the high level of vertical integration and modular structure of KELLER products offer OEM customers a great deal of flexibility. Complete on-site production allows for tailored, customer-specific solutions – even in small production runs. In 2023, KELLER made a name for itself in the semi-conductor industry thanks to the high product quality and accuracy of its sensors.
In Winterthur, KELLER is currently building the «Diamond», a new 12’000 m2 main building where all production will be housed at new workstations starting from 2026. At the same time, the company is fully committed to the digital transformation, another crucial factor in the next chapter of the KELLER success story.

email: FCI Celebrates 60-Year Anniversary
A technology innovator and global leader in flow, level and temperature measurement since 1964, Fluid Components International (FCI), a PST brand, is celebrating 60 years in business by providing its customers with a renewed commitment to advanced instrumentation, superior quality, reliability and excellent value.
Randy Brown, FCI President, said, “We are privileged to be one of a few select companies that can claim 60 years of instrumentation service. From our origins in oil field flow detection, FCI has grown into a world leader in applying thermal dispersion technology to solve flow and level challenges in a wide range of industrial processes and aircraft applications.”
For More Info, email: email:
Founded in 1964 by California engineers Malcolm “Mac” McQueen and Bob Deane. FCI initially found success in the oil/gas industry. FCI was the first company to develop a robust thermal flow switch to detect low flow rates in stripper wells. In the 1970s, the company followed up with flow rate and liquid level switches and transmitters, then next pioneered the development of air/gas thermal dispersion mass flow meters.
Process Sensing Technologies (PST), FCI’s parent company since November 2023, congratulates FCI on its 60th anniversary and looks forward to many more innovative technology industry-first milestones to come. PST brings together well-established brands such as FCI, each of which is trusted within their industries for the precision and reliability of their products, strong innovation and singular focus on customer service.
