Launch Tech — A Established Player in Automotive Diagnostics
Launch Tech Co. Ltd., founded in 1992, is a global leader in diagnostic scanners, test equipment, and workshop solutions for the automotive aftermarket. Launch gained worldwide recognition especially through its X431 series diagnostic tools. With broad vehicle coverage, powerful diagnostic functions, user-friendly interfaces, and continuously updated technology, Launch has earned the trust of professional automotive service centers and technicians. More affordable options such as the Creader series also appeal to individual users and small workshops.
