What Neurtek does

Neurtek is a Spanish industrial testing-equipment manufacturer and distributor founded in 1979 and headquartered in Eibar, Basque Country, with six commercial offices across Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Vigo) and Portugal (Oporto). The company supplies quality control and R&D+i instrumentation to automotive, aerospace, coatings, pharmaceutical/cosmetics, defense, food and beverage, and research-center customers, organized into four product lines: paint and coatings testing (PosiTector thickness gauges, DeFelsko adhesion testers, porosity detectors); environmental testing (WEISS Technik climate chambers, Vötsch ovens, ASCOTT corrosion chambers, ACUTRONIC shakers, SOLARBOX aging chambers); color and gloss measurement (X-Rite, Rhopoint and HunterLab spectrophotometers and glossmeters, light booths, RAL/NCS/Pantone/Munsell color charts, retroreflectometers); and plastics/rubber testing (Bareiss durometers, impact pendulums, Vicat/HDT, MFR/MVR rheology, specimen preparation). Neurtek holds the unusual position of being the only company in its sector with own manufacturing capability, having launched the NK by Neurtek proprietary brand at the American Coatings Show in 2024, while simultaneously serving as exclusive Iberia distributor for more than nine international manufacturers.

The business generates revenue through one-time equipment sales (both own-brand NK by Neurtek and distributed international brands), recurring ENAC ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration services (temperature, humidity, optics, viscosity), tiered service and maintenance contracts (Standard, Premium, Custom) with a 48-hour response commitment, and original spare parts. Go-to-market is sales-led via a field commercial network augmented by an e-commerce store (shop.neurtek.com), educational webinars, and active participation in trade shows such as Expoquimia 2026 and Paint & Coatings 2025. Distribution outside Iberia is handled through a network of country representatives. Neurtek operates a wholly-owned NEURTEK Services subsidiary that consolidates technical service, calibration and spare-parts operations, and holds both ISO 9001 and ENAC ISO/IEC 17025 certifications. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Rhopoint Instruments: UK manufacturer of gloss, haze, DOI, and appearance measurement instruments. Listed as a partner Neurtek distributes in Iberia, so commercially it is a principal rather than direct competitor in Spain/Portugal but competes in other geographies.

Direct peers

• TQC Sheen (Industrial Physics): TQC (part of Industrial Physics) manufactures and distributes coating test equipment including thickness gauges, gloss meters, and viscosity instruments. Directly competes with Neurtek's distributed DeFelsko, Rhopoint, and BAREISS lines.
• BYK-Gardner (ALTANA): BYK-Gardner, part of ALTANA's BYK division, manufactures color, appearance, and physical test instruments for coatings, plastics, and cosmetics — directly competing with Neurtek across coating thickness, gloss, and color measurement categories worldwide.
• Helmut Fischer: Global manufacturer of coating thickness measurement, material analysis, and nano-indentation instruments. Competes with the distributed coating thickness and material characterization products in Neurtek's portfolio.
• Konica Minolta Sensing: Manufactures spectrophotometers, colorimeters, and light measurement instruments for industrial color QC — directly comparable to the X-Rite, HunterLab, and Rhopoint spectrophotometer lines Neurtek distributes.
• Paul N. Gardner Company: US-based manufacturer and distributor of physical and inspection test instruments for the coatings industry. Closely comparable to Neurtek as a multi-brand specialty distributor with proprietary product lines serving paint and coatings QC labs.
• ElektroPhysik: German manufacturer of coating thickness measurement instruments and surface testing equipment, overlapping directly with the DeFelsko PosiTector product line that Neurtek distributes.

Broad incumbents

• AMETEK Test & Calibration: Large industrial conglomerate with testing and calibration divisions including former Sheen Instruments; competes broadly with Neurtek's environmental testing, hardness, and calibration offerings through diversified portfolios rather than a single specialist brand.
