Ankersmid Group

What Ankersmid Group does

Ankersmid Group is a privately held industrial measurement and instrumentation company headquartered in Nijverdal, Netherlands, founded in 1988 (originally as M&C Indumation, renamed Ankersmid Process in 2008). The company engineers, supplies, and services analytical equipment for industrial gas and liquid measurement, spanning individual analyzers, complete Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) systems, and turnkey process gas solutions. Its core technology portfolio covers NDIR gas analyzers, chemiluminescent NOx analyzers, mercury (Hg) analyzers, FTIR analyzers, oxygen analyzers (paramagnetic and electrochemical), FID flame ionization detectors, gas chromatography, TDLAS and CRDS extractive laser analyzers, in-situ laser analyzers, online TOC analyzers, viscosity, turbidity, and refractometry systems, supported by proprietary gas conditioning components (heated probes, gas coolers, filters, pumps, calibration systems). Notable technical differentiators include the Quality Assurance System (QAS) for instrument characterization, the Galvanic Oxygen Purity Sensor with 2-year continuous measurement life, and the BIEM-operated Predictive Emission Monitoring System (PEMS) using chemometric modeling for ETS Class 1 installations.

The business operates on a multi-brand distribution and system integration model. Ankersmid is the exclusive distributor for more than 30 international brands including NEO Monitors (LaserGas family), Tiger Optics (CRDS), Applied Analytics (OMA platform), Envea, Siemens, Thermo Scientific, Kemtrak, Dr Födisch, Azbil, Horiba, BioTector, EcoPhysics, and Environics. The group has wholly-owned subsidiaries in the Netherlands (Ankersmid Process, Ankersmid Lab, Ankersmid Unburdening, BIEM), Belgium (Ankersmid-M&C, Ankersmid Sampling Factory), Germany (Ankersmid Sampling), France (Apollo Instruments), China (Ankersmid Beijn, Ankersmid Shanghai), and Romania. Revenue streams include hardware sales of gas and liquid analyzers and gas conditioning systems, system integration for complete CEM and process systems, preventive and corrective maintenance with 24/7 service contracts, calibration and QAL2/AST measurement services, equipment rental, and a differentiated Unburdening five-year managed-service contract for full emissions monitoring compliance outsourcing. The customer base spans industrial process technology (petrochemical, chemical, refining, aluminum smelting, paint manufacturing), laboratories, biogas installations, livestock and poultry operations, maritime/shipping, and air force applications, with primary focus on emissions compliance (EN 14181, BEES, QAL1/2/3, BVA) and process optimization. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts as the standard billing cadence for major deployments.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Endress+Hauser: Swiss process instrumentation leader with extensive gas analysis and liquid analysis portfolios serving the same industrial process customers Ankersmid targets. Competes on full-scope single-vendor solutions where Ankersmid relies on multi-brand integration.
• HORIBA: Global analytical and measurement instrumentation group with a process and environmental division offering CEMS, automotive exhaust, and stack gas analyzers. Ankersmid is an exclusive distributor of Horiba Tocadero TOC products, making Horiba both a partner and a broader competitive incumbent in the same end markets.
• MKS Instruments: US-based provider of instruments, subsystems, and process control solutions including gas analysis and vacuum/pressure measurement used in semiconductor, industrial, and life sciences applications. Larger scale and broader portfolio than Ankersmid.
• AMETEK: US electronic instruments and electromechanical devices group with process and analytical divisions serving emissions monitoring, process gas analysis, and laboratory customers with strong global footprint and recurring service revenue.
• Siemens Process Analytics: Industrial process analytics arm offering Ultramat, Oxymat, Calomat, and MAXUM gas chromatographs — many of which Ankersmid distributes. As a brand owner and direct OEM, Siemens can bypass distributors on large global accounts, creating channel conflict risk for Ankersmid.
• Emerson Electric (Rosemount / Rosemount Analytical): Diversified industrial automation group with significant gas and liquid analytical instrumentation offerings (Rosemount Analytical, Xstream). Competes with Ankersmid on integrated emissions and process monitoring for refineries, chemicals, and power.

Emerging players

• Aeroqual: New Zealand-based air quality and gas monitoring specialist with growing presence in industrial emissions and ambient air monitoring. Competes with Ankersmid's ammonia and ambient air analyzer offerings (e.g., LSE Monitors partners) but with smaller installed base.

Direct peers

• Servomex: UK-based specialist in gas analysis (paramagnetic, zirconia, IR, FID) for industrial process and emissions applications. Closely comparable to Ankersmid's NDIR, oxygen, and CEMS portfolio, with comparable exclusive-distribution-style channel arrangements in several regions.
• SICK AG: German-headquartered global manufacturer of gas analyzers, emissions monitoring systems, and process instrumentation including in-situ TDLAS and CEMS solutions. Directly competes with Ankersmid across European industrial gas analysis customers, with deeper owned-IP and larger scale.

Regional players

• Drägerwerk: German-headquartered safety and gas detection specialist with overlap in fixed gas detection, emissions monitoring, and laboratory gas analysis. Competes regionally in Europe with comparable customer segments but stronger in safety/portable detection than continuous process analyzers.
