Jobst Technologies rebranded to iST Jobst
iST Jobst continues to operate from its production facility in Freiburg in Breisgau, Germany, where it develops single- and multiparametric biosensors for applications ranging from continuous analyte monitoring to organ-on-chip systems and cell therapy products. The company’s portfolio includes sensors for glucose, lactate, glutamine, and glutamate, as well as microfluidic systems and robotic dispensing technologies.
The rebranding to iST Jobst is more than a name change—it signifies a unified identity under the iST Group umbrella, enhancing collaboration, innovation, and global visibility. This move supports the company’s mission to offer comprehensive sensor solutions across all industries including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and medical diagnostics.
Dr. Jörn Lützen, Managing Director of iST Group, remarked: “Bringing Jobst Technologies into our branded house as iST Jobst marks a significant step in strengthening our leadership in biosensor innovation. This integration enhances our ability to deliver tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of biolab and medical technology customers worldwide. Earlier this year, we also rebranded Senstech to iST Senstech—further reinforcing our unified identity and expanding our expertise in precision force, surface strain, and pressure sensing. These developments not only reflect our strategic vision but also unlock valuable synergies. By combining a broad sensor portfolio with deep technical know-how, we transform complexity into opportunity and deliver meaningful value to our customers.”
The transition also highlights iST’s dedication to cultivating a culture of excellence, transparency, and continuous advancement across its subsidiaries—while honoring their unique strengths and heritage. For further details, visit www.ist-jobst.com
