What Measured Solutions does

Measured Solutions is a privately held B2B sales, service, and ISO calibration provider headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, serving the North American, Central American, and parts of the South American fiber and yarn industry. Founded in 2002, the company operates as an exclusive North American distribution channel for seven leading international manufacturers of textile testing instruments, spinneret cleaning equipment, spinneret inspection systems, and specialty masterbatch chips. Its represented principals include Textechno (Germany) for textile testing, Schwing (Germany) for thermal cleaning systems, Aspex (USA) for spinneret inspection, Rothschild (Switzerland) for yarn tension and friction measurement, IKV Masterbatches (Germany) for specialty additives, Mansco (USA) for inline viscometers, and Tomsic (Italy) for yarn testing equipment.

The company's product portfolio spans physical measurement and processing equipment used in synthetic and natural fiber manufacturing workflows, including tensile testers (Favimat+, Statimat series), evenness testers, drapability analyzers, dynamic yarn testers (Dynafil+), friction meters, tensiometers, spinneret inspection systems (SpinTrak bench-top, table-top, and floor-standing models), and fluidized-bed/vacuum pyrolysis cleaning systems (INNOVACLEAN, MAXICLEAN, VACUCLEAN). The underlying technology is primarily mechanical and optical measurement rather than software-driven, with ISO calibration services forming a recurring revenue touchpoint with installed equipment bases.

The business model combines one-time equipment sales, professional service revenue from on-site ISO calibrations and maintenance, and spare parts distribution from the Greenville office. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with quote-based multi-year contracts, supported by industry trade show participation (including ITMA 2023 in Milan). Customer segments include fiber and yarn manufacturers, BCF/carpet yarn producers, and textile testing laboratories, though no named customer accounts are publicly disclosed. The company operates with a small team of 1-10 employees, including factory-trained technicians with over 50 years of combined experience.
