What Newson Gale does

Newson Gale, founded in 1984 and headquartered in Colwick (Nottingham), United Kingdom, manufactures static earthing and bonding equipment designed to mitigate electrostatic ignition risks in explosive atmospheres. The company's product portfolio is organized into the Earth-Rite active monitoring systems (RTR, MGV, PLUS, DGS, MULTIPOINT II, FIBC) that continuously verify resistance to 10 ohms or less per IEC 60079-32-1 and NFPA recommendations; the Bond-Rite passive grounding clamps (CLAMP, EZ, REMOTE) featuring patented tungsten carbide teeth for penetrating paint, rust, and product deposits; the Cen-Stat cable, reel, and personnel grounding accessories; and complementary testing equipment (OhmGuard, Sole-Mate, RTR/MGV Testers). Core proprietary technology includes the patented Tri-Mode method for verifying that an earthing point connects to a general mass of earth capable of dissipating static charge, plus intrinsically safe circuit design certified to Ex ia standards.

The business operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HOERBIGER, a Swiss-headquartered diversified industrial conglomerate, and earns revenue primarily through hardware sales of certified static control equipment, supplemented by CompEx-certified technical support services and testing equipment sales. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales offices in the UK, US, Germany, Singapore, and China with an exclusive international distributor network covering Europe, the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, and Australia. Customers are industrial operators handling flammable materials across road tankers, rail tankers, vacuum trucks, IBCs, drums, FIBCs, and fixed powder processing equipment in oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and bulk powder processing sectors. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via sales consultation; the company warrants PCBs for seven years and mechanical parts for one year against manufacturer defects. The product range carries ATEX, IECEx, FM, UKCA, cCSAus, KCs, CCC, InMetro, and PESO certifications, and the company is audited annually to ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 80079-34:2018.

Core offering

Newson Gale manufactures Ex-certified static earthing and bonding equipment used to mitigate ignition risks from static electricity accumulation on plant equipment in explosive atmospheres. The portfolio includes the Earth-Rite active monitoring systems (RTR, MGV, PLUS, DGS, MULTIPOINT II, FIBC), Bond-Rite passive grounding clamps, Cen-Stat cables/reels, dual core clamps, and dedicated testing equipment (OhmGuard, Sole-Mate). These products serve road tankers, railcars, vacuum trucks, IBCs, FIBC bags, drums, and fixed powder processing equipment handling flammable liquids, gases, and combustible powders.

Product overview

Newson Gale is a manufacturer of static control and earthing solutions for hazardous areas, offering a comprehensive portfolio of products organized into the Earth-Rite® II active monitoring systems (RTR, MGV, PLUS, DGS, MULTIPOINT II, FIBC), Bond-Rite® grounding clamps (CLAMP, EZ, REMOTE), Cen-Stat™ cables and reels, dual core clamps, and testing equipment (OhmGuard®, Sole-Mate™, RTR/MGV Testers). The Earth-Rite® systems provide active resistance monitoring to 10 ohms or less with visual indication and process interlock capabilities, while Bond-Rite® and Cen-Stat™ products offer passive bonding and earthing solutions. Accessories include portable earthing kits, strobe lights, intrinsically safe switching PCBs, retractable cable reels, and installation kits. Together, these products form a complete static control solution designed to mitigate electrostatic ignition hazards in explosive atmospheres across road tankers, railcars, IBCs, drums, and FIBC applications.
