What TeMeCo Services AG does

TeMeCo Services AG is a privately held Swiss technical sales and service company founded in 1998 in Dübendorf, Switzerland, operating exclusively in the Switzerland and Liechtenstein markets. The company is the successor to Carl Schenck AG / Schenck Testing and functions as the exclusive Swiss sales, installation, calibration, maintenance, and modernization partner for a portfolio of leading global testing equipment manufacturers — including Shimadzu (universal testing machines), Inova (servo-hydraulic fatigue systems), GÖTTFERT (rheological instruments), BINDER (climate chambers), Horiba (engine testing), Metkon (metallographic sample preparation), Matest (building materials testing), and Imetrum (non-contact extensometers).

The company's product offering spans nine categories: static and dynamic testing machines, temperature/climate chambers and ovens, rheological testing instruments, hardness testers, metrology sensors, analytical testers (X-ray diffraction, emission spectroscopy, CT), sample preparation equipment, and a used-equipment marketplace. Beyond equipment distribution, TeMeCo delivers a full after-sales service stack — consulting, demonstration, training, ISO 17025 accredited calibration (accreditation SCS 0178 since 23 June 2025 covering force, torque, length, and angle of rotation), modernization, and on-site support. Customers include universities, research institutes, and industrial manufacturers across automotive, construction, plastics, transport, and pharmaceuticals, with a stated base of 1,000+ customers supported by a 1-10 person team operating in German, English, and French.

TeMeCo generates revenue through two primary streams: one-time equipment resale of partner-manufactured testing systems (a transactional sales model) and recurring professional services including accredited calibration, maintenance, modernization, and training (a services model). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through quotation-based, contact-driven engagement. The business operates as an enterprise field-sales organization with on-site demonstration, pilot trial, and direct customer engagement across the Swiss and Liechtenstein industrial and academic base.

Broad incumbents

• Instron: Global leader in materials testing instruments — originally one of TeMeCo's joint venture parents at the company's 1998 founding. Today, Instron operates direct sales and service across Europe and competes with TeMeCo on the same range of static and dynamic testing machines for industrial and academic customers.
• Shimadzu Scientific Instruments: Global manufacturer of analytical and testing instruments including universal testing machines, hardness testers, and spectroscopy. TeMeCo is Shimadzu's exclusive Swiss channel for mechanical testing, so Shimadzu is both partner and broader-market incumbent that competes via its full global portfolio.
• Lloyd Instruments / AMETEK Test & Calibration: Testing and calibration equipment manufacturer within the broader AMETEK group. Comparable to TeMeCo through dedicated materials testing instruments and metrology/calibration offerings for industrial and research laboratories across Europe.
• MTS Systems (now part of Amphenol Test Solutions): Major global supplier of mechanical testing and simulation systems (static, fatigue, crash, durability). Comparable to TeMeCo at the high-end of dynamic/servo-hydraulic testing and competes for the same automotive and aerospace R&D budgets as Inova (a TeMeCo OEM partner).
• BINDER GmbH: German manufacturer of climate simulation chambers and incubators used in life sciences, materials testing and battery/EV testing. Part of TeMeCo's distribution portfolio, but globally BINDER operates its own direct sales force competing for industrial lab customers on environmental simulation.

Direct peers

• Tinius Olsen: US/UK-headquartered manufacturer and supplier of mechanical materials testing machines including tensile, compression, impact, and rheology instruments. Comparable to TeMeCo through its testing equipment portfolio and aftermarket services, serving overlapping industrial and academic end-customers.
• ZwickRoell: German-headquartered manufacturer and supplier of static and dynamic materials testing machines, hardness testers, and rheology systems. Directly comparable to TeMeCo's portfolio of universal testing machines and serves overlapping end-customers in automotive, plastics and research — competing for the same testing equipment budgets through both direct sales and a regional distributor channel in Switzerland and surrounding markets.
• Mecmesin: UK-headquartered manufacturer of force and torque testing equipment plus calibration services. Comparable to TeMeCo in serving industrial QA labs with testing instruments and accredited calibration, including extensometry and force measurement accessories.
• Hegewald & Peschke: German manufacturer and distributor of universal testing machines, rheology equipment and calibration services for materials testing. Highly comparable to TeMeCo given DACH-region focus, similar product breadth (static testing, rheology, calibration), and customer overlap in industrial and academic labs.
• ADMET: US-based manufacturer and service provider of materials testing machines (tensile, compression, fatigue) plus calibration and aftermarket services. Directly comparable business model combining equipment distribution/manufacturing with accredited testing/calibration services.
