About Xavier Gorra

Schooled in electronics and telecommunications, after a stint as an apprentice in radio & TV broadcasting (Monte Carlo), I started my career as a commissioning engineer for industrial process instrumentation and automation (Honeywell Int. BV). This led me to spend time on a variety of production processes including cement, steel, aluminum, glass, water desalination, gas-oil separation plants and refineries.Some years later I moved into sales and have handled various lines over time. These have included industrial process instrumentation, precision test instruments, various analytical, magnetic resonance, clinical & medical instrumentation, thin film deposition & etch systems, ion implanters, molecular beam epitaxy, Auger spectroscopy, SIMS, EPMA, helium leak detection, high vacuum & UHV, cryogenics, thermal flow control & vaporization, front-end VME / NIM electronics & power systems for nuclear-particle-astrophysics, and Radiation Safety & Security instrumentation. My early hobbies rotated around construction of electronic assemblies as radio receivers, stereo amplifiers, radio transmitters, test instrumentation. Years later I developed an interest in designing websites and that led to using those new skills to develop an eCommerce: https://shop.swisstronix.net I've had the good fortune to observe and participate in the transformation of the electronics landscape from transistor to integrated circuit, into the nanometer scale. First through my time at Télé Monte Carlo during the shift to transistorized color broadcasting, and later through marketing capital equipment worth multi-millions for the fabrication process of large-scale integrated circuits, solid state lasers and other advanced devices. This multidisciplinary background has opened the doors to a multitude of highly enriching interests in various terrestrial and space-related cutting-edge technologies.

Xavier Gorra Work Experience Details
  • X-Tronix Ltd
    Executive Managing Director
    X-Tronix Ltd Aug 1988 - Present
    Cham & Lausanne, Switzerland
    Developed the company into an important equipment supplier to academic & government research, corporate development and hi-tech industry. Our customers are among the best-known technology companies and science Universities in 45 countries of Europe, the Americas, Asia, Middle East, and Africa. Further, by proxy of our OEM private labeling activity we reach markets around the globe.X-TRONIX has dealt with various lines of products over the years with focus on Nuclear- Particle- Astrophysics; Radiation Safety & Security; Thin Films & Epitaxy; Cryogenics; Surface Science; Gas Flow Management and Vacuum Techniques. The company has been involved in products of various value, including multi-million dollar contracts. We have successfully addressed unique custom designs, both for research as well as for production applications, under the 'xtronix' brand, ranging in value from a dozen K$ and into the vicinity of 200K$
  • Varian Ag (Agilent Technologies Since 2010)
    Sales Manager, International Markets, Vacuum Products Div.
    Varian Ag (Agilent Technologies Since 2010) Oct 1976 - Mar 1988
    Zug, Switzerland
    Market development & sales of products of the Industrial Equipment Operation and later the Vacuum Products Division. Established a large network of Sales Distributors, ensuring their regular field and factory trainings in product competence and high tech sales techniques. The high-value equipment I was involved in selling included ion implanters, MBE reactors, Auger spectrometers, sputter & evaporation coaters, UHV systems. On the lower value end, helium leak detectors, ion-cryo-turbo-rotary vane pumps, vacuum gauges & hardware.My territory contributed to some 50% of the systems volume from the company's Torino factory (thin film coaters and UHV systems, as well as a sizable percentage of leak detectors and 10 KW electron beam evaporation sources). I was directly involved in negotiating the order for one of the first three MBE systems the company delivered into Europe, and a number of medium and high current ion implanters. Over the last year in this job, typical growth contributions in the European basin included: Switzerland +25%; Scandinavia +21%, Spain +37%, Yugoslavia +26%. Achieved 6- & 7-digit sales in several countries I managed. Earlier, India, Israel, and South Africa were moved from insignificant to major sales contributors.Many of the division's most significant sales breakthroughs, including several 'contracts of the century' were from my territory of responsibility and with my direct involvement. We captured the greater bulk of ion pump and ion implanter sales in my territory of responsibility and established market leadership in helium leak detection in the majority of countries of the territory.
