MADE TO MEASURE

Born out of the individual strengths of Bourdon Sedeme, Haenni and Kamstrup, Bourdon-Haenni is the powerful new force in the manufacture and distribution of high technology industrial instrumentation that can truly be described as 'made to measure'.

Bourdon Sedeme is a famous name in the manufacture of mechanical instrumentation including pressure gauges, temperature gauges and switches. Operating predominately in the petrochemical and OEM markets, its major emphasis was on transport sectors such as aeronautics and railways.

Haenni Instruments is a market leader in Switzerland with a significant presence in the German market. Its major Swiss markets were pharmaceuticals and HVAC, whilst in Germany it was strong in the chemicals and automotive industries.

Kamstrup Process has a very different pedigree. Based in Denmark, the company had an entirely electronic product range developed specifically for the food and beverage processing industries. The product range was built around complete programmability and unique user functions that provide flexibility and simplicity of operation.

The merger of these well known and entirely complementary products and skills to form Bourdon-Haenni has produced a new company that is market orientated and focused on four main industrial sectors: pharmaceutical and biotech; petrochemical; food and beverage and chemical process. Existing clients include Pfizer, Shell Exploration, Mars, Coca Cola Enterprises, Dow Corning and Roche.

Many of these companies operate worldwide and the new group has the resources to provide a global support package with offices throughout Europe as well as Singapore, Venezuela and the USA.
