Distran is a mid-sized Swiss company that develops handheld ultrasound imaging devices for industrial use. Its core system uses an array of 124 sensors to detect small timing differences in incoming ultrasound, enabling real-time localization of the sound source. The technology is designed to help industrial operators identify faults such as gas leaks across long piping networks, delivering safety improvements and emissions reductions while pursuing cost savings. Based in Zurich, in the canton of Zurich, the company operates in the industrial machinery manufacturing sector, targeting facilities with extensive asset networks for leak detection. A notable recent development is a 2024 collaboration with Airtech International to integrate the Ultra CE ultrasonic leak detector with Airtech's vacuum bagging capabilities, and participation in SPE Offshore Europe 2025 to demonstrate live testing of the ultrasound camera.
