About

PI (Physik Instrumente) offers one of the most comprehensive portfolios of precision motion and nanopositioning technologies worldwide. PI USA complies with all applicable U.S. export control regulations.
The PI U.S. headquarters in Shrewsbury, MA provides 140,000 sf for manufacturing, engineering, R&D, service and repair, application labs, and nanometrology capabilities for testing and calibration. The new facility expands local production capacity, reduces lead times, and strengthens support for North American customers. PI USA is ITAR-registered and supports both COTS and custom precision motion control, piezo, and nanopositioning system requirements.
PI develops and manufactures precision motion systems for photonics, semiconductors, aerospace, bio-nanotechnology, medical engineering, and advanced industrial applications. The portfolio includes gantry systems, air-bearing stages, linear and vertical stages, microscope stages, motor controllers, piezo flexure stages, piezo nanopositioning systems, piezo motors, hexapod 6-axis parallel-kinematic systems, and fast steering mirrors.
With more than 50 years of experience, PI designs and manufactures standard and custom motion systems based on piezoelectric and electromagnetic drives. ISO 9001â??certified since 1994, PI delivers high-performance, reliable solutions for OEM and research applications.
PI operates globally with more than 1,900 employees across 15 countries, with design, manufacturing, and engineering centers in Europe, North America, and Asia. Together with its piezo-technology, air-bearing capabilities and motorized product lines, PI provides a broad spectrum of high-precision motion solutions for demanding applications.
