Our story

WatchGas is a global manufacturer of advanced gas detection technology, designed for professionals who operate where mistakes are not an option. Our mission is simple: protect people, processes and environments through reliable, intuitive and accessible gas detection solutions that redefine what value means in safety.

Founded in Europe’s largest logistics hub, Rotterdam (The Netherlands), WatchGas began in 2018 with a clear ambition: to build a modern alternative to traditional gas detection brands. An alternative rooted in agility, engineering excellence and a relentless focus on customer needs, not on systems or slow innovation cycles.

From our headquarters in Rotterdam, we expanded into the United States, Singapore and Dubai, supported by regional sales representatives across Europe, Australia, Africa, Asia and Pacific, Latin America, Scandinavia and a global distribution network that spans over 150 countries. No matter where you operate, whether in confined spaces, industrial sites, refineries, HazMat, emergency response or environmental applications, WatchGas stands beside you as a solution-driven partner.
