Meyton Elektronik GmbH

Meyton Elektronik GmbH is a German company based in Melle-Bruchmühlen that develops and produces electronic measuring and scoring systems for sport shooting. Founded in 1991 by Paul Meyer and Ewald Etgeton in Mettingen, the company grew out of an idea Etgeton had developed in the 1980s: using LED light barriers to determine shot values. Meyton was the first manufacturer to measure shots with light barriers, replacing traditional paper targets and manual scoring. The company's systems are used in training and competition by shooting clubs, regional performance centres, and national associations. Meyton's core product line, ESTANX, includes electronic target frames, control PCs, range cockpits, scoreboards, and cloud-based software for managing competitions and training. The systems run on Linux to reduce licensing costs and allow easy customisation. Measurement works by a projectile passing through a frame and interrupting X- and Y-axis light barriers; the coordinates are sent to a control PC, which calculates the shot value using the Pythagorean theorem and displays it graphically. Meyton systems are installed in most state performance centres of German shooting associations, including Bad Kreuznach, Berlin, Dortmund, Frankfurt am Main, Frankfurt an der Oder, Hannover, Pforzheim, and Pfreimd. Over more than 30 years, Meyton has built a reputation for precision, long-term support, and innovation. The company emphasises customer benefit, security of investment, and quality, and has partnered with SIUS to ensure future-proofing of its systems. Its latest developments include the ESTANX product family with cloud connectivity, contactless projectile detection, and smartphone integration for digital shooting logs. Meyton remains a privately held company and a leading name in electronic shooting sports technology.

Meyton Elektronik GmbH was founded in 1991 in Mettingen, Germany, by Paul Meyer and Ewald Etgeton. The company's origin lies in an idea Etgeton developed in the 1980s: using an LED light barrier to determine shot values in sport shooting. Paul Meyer, an electronics technician, helped implement the concept, and a first prototype was tested at a local shooting club. Shortly after founding, Udo Witte joined as a computer scientist and third partner. In 2000, the company became the main professional basis for all three partners; the two founders, Meyer and Etgeton, withdrew from the company, and Udo Witte took over as managing director. In 2002, the company moved its headquarters to Melle-Bruchmühlen. Meyton was the first manufacturer to measure shots using light barriers, a technology that replaced traditional paper targets and manual scoring. Over more than 30 years, the company has gained the trust of countless sport shooters and has installed its systems in most state performance centres of German shooting associations, including Bad Kreuznach, Berlin, Dortmund, Frankfurt am Main, Frankfurt an der Oder, Hannover, Pforzheim, and Pfreimd. The company has continued to innovate, developing the ESTANX product family with cloud connectivity, contactless projectile detection, and smartphone integration. A partnership with SIUS was formed to ensure future security and long-term support for Meyton systems.
