History
FEMTO is dedicated to development, production, technical assistance and sales of UV-VIS and NIR spectrophotometers. We provide reliable and competitive products and excellent technical assistance with quality and effectiveness that only a specialist can offer.
Lidio Takayama, founder of FEMTO, in 1973, student of Physics at the São Paulo University, began his work in development of spectrophotometers.
1976 and 1977 he was employee in a research center “Instituto de Atividades Espaciais do Centro Técnico Aeroespacial” in São José dos Campos, and student of post graduation by “ Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica”.
1978 he returned to the activities of development of spectrophotometers in private enterprise, responsible for launchings of many models in the company leading the market at the time.
1988 he decides to found FEMTO with his brother and sister Francisco and Mary. His father, when thought about the plans of the company, advertised him: “from this moment, I do not want to hear from your brothers no problems of housing, health, food, education. This problem is yours from now. If you have that strength, go ahead; otherwise give up now…On the other hand, you will have people very loyal to all business needs.”
This strong sense of commitment and responsibility to the side of develop spectrophotometers were the foundations of the company.
