What Labom does

Labom Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH is a privately held German industrial measurement technology company founded in 1968 and headquartered at Im Gewerbepark 13 in Hude near Oldenburg. The company designs, manufactures, and sells pressure and temperature measurement devices for the process industry, built on stainless-steel sensor technology, diaphragm seal systems, and electronic signal processing. Its product portfolio comprises pressure measurement devices, temperature measurement devices, diaphragm seals (Druckmittler) in Hastelloy or PTFE-coated variants for aggressive media, and a quick-coupling system called the REconnect Schnellkupplung introduced in 2024. Differentiation rests on engineered-to-order configuration of process connections, displays, and measurement ranges, together with 56 years of accumulated expertise in hygienic stainless-steel process connections.

The company serves 18 industry verticals, with pharmaceutical, food and feed, and chemical/petrochemical flagged as primary; secondary verticals include renewable energy, biotechnology, recycling, infrastructure and transport, energy supply, paper, shipbuilding, automotive, oil processing, building materials and cement, beverages, water and wastewater, oil/gas/mining, plant and mechanical engineering. Customer concentration by name is not disclosed. Labom's go-to-market is enterprise field sales with individual technical consultation, supported by a thin digital footprint (LinkedIn, Instagram @labom_insight, company blog). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting engineered-to-order configurations rather than catalog transactions.

Labom monetizes through one-time hardware sales of customized measurement instruments and accessories (including spare parts and diaphragms). The dense certification stack — DIN EN ISO 9001, ATEX 2014/34/EU, DGRL (Pressure Equipment Directive) 2014/68/EU, IECEx, PTB 13 ATEX Q002 flame-arrester QMS, AEO, and ZVEI Code of Conduct — underpins market access for hazardous-area, pressurized, hygienic, and corrosive-environment applications. The company is owned by management, with two Managing Directors (Marc Burmeister and Frank Labohm) and no disclosed parent, external investors, or subsidiaries.
