GHM Messtechnik was launched in 2009 and is an amalgamation of globally renowned companies comprising: Greisinger Electronic, Honsberg Instruments, Martens Elektronik, Imtron, T & A Telemetry & Automation and Delta Ohm. Honsberg Instrumentation is well known to the South African market, having had a presence for over 40 years through its previous distributor OMSA.
“The decision by GHM Messtechnik to open a dedicated South African office in January 2016, was in order to offer a more personalised service and broader product offering to the local market, which has seen substantial growth over the last five to 10 years. It is an exciting new venture and a logical progression to our operations in this country,” said Grobler.
“I believe that our technical capability and skills, coupled with our experience in the instrumentation market, gives us the competitive edge to continue to increase our footprint in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. Our innovative product solutions, our versatility and flexibility in accommodating customers’ specific requirements is what makes us one of the leaders in this industry.
“The wide range of technologies and products offered by us are known for their high quality, performance, accuracy and reliability. Due to its tough and harsh environmental conditions, GHM Messtechnik has in the past used the South African market for product development, and this has enabled the company to develop extremely robust products. This research and development will continue to exist through this new South African subsidiary.”
GHM Messtechnik South Africa will offer sensors and instrumentation, hygienic design instrumentation, laboratory instrumentation, industrial electronics, process measurement technology, data acquisition equipment and environmental/water analysis instrumentation.
These well-established technologies and products have applications across the board and include general industry, mining, food and beverage, power generation, renewable energy, pharmaceutical, laboratories, oil flow measurement and hydraulic related applications.
The company currently has specific OEM agreements in place with hydraulic and oil lubrication system manufacturers, as well as previous sales partners for handheld equipment within South Africa.
