Nanmac

What Nanmac does

Nanmac Corporation is a US-based, founder-controlled (SDVOSB) designer and manufacturer of high-temperature thermal sensing instruments, founded in 1956 by NASA scientists and headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts with a state-of-the-art electronics manufacturing facility in Milford, MA. The company's core technology spans thermocouples (including proprietary Self-Renewing or Eroding variants achieving 8-microsecond response times for rocket propulsion), resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) to 850°C, NTC thermistor probes, and specialty refractory metal assemblies in molybdenum and tantalum, covering a measurement envelope from -200°C to 2,400°C. Nanmac operates an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited calibration laboratory described as the highest-temperature commercial thermocouple calibration facility in the world at 2,000°C, with supporting pressure testing to 50,000 psia and vacuum leak testing.

Nanmac serves mission-critical temperature measurement applications across aerospace and defense (SpaceX, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, GE Aviation, Airbus), government research (Sandia National Laboratories), energy (GE Power, PlugPower), materials processing (Saint-Gobain), and industrial process verticals. The company operates an enterprise field sales motion led by direct engineering consultation from headquarters and supported by an exclusive manufacturer's representative (T&M Instruments) across Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, with wholly-owned regional offices in Shanghai, China and Daegu, South Korea (the latter operated via partner Protech Company for Korea and Japan). Its business model combines made-to-order hardware sales (thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, accessories such as transmitters, thermowells, conduit heads, and connectors) with professional services revenue from calibration and custom engineering engagements, priced on a quote basis with non-refundable engineering fees (NRE) for fully bespoke solutions.

The corporate umbrella includes the wholly-owned AccuTru brand (precision temperature measurement with MI-Dry insulation, Houston Ship Channel heritage) and sister company Infinity Fiber (fiber optic cable assemblies for AI data centers and military vehicles). Distribution is quote-based with net-30 cash terms, no returns are accepted, and orders cannot be cancelled once processed, reflecting the custom-engineered, specification-driven nature of the product mix. Marketing is primarily technical (whitepapers, certifications display, engineering consultation) rather than digital, consistent with the company's positioning as an aerospace-grade specialty supplier.

Core offering

Nanmac designs, customizes and manufactures total thermal sensing circuits including thermocouples (to 2,400°C), RTDs (to 850°C), and NTC thermistor probes for measurement from -200°C to 2,400°C. The company produces standard catalog sensors, fully customized sensor assemblies with engineering support, and provides ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited calibration and testing services through its high-temperature calibration laboratory.

Product overview

Nanmac is a manufacturer of temperature sensors and thermal measurement solutions. The product portfolio centers on three core sensor types: thermocouples (including bare wire, mineral insulated, ultra-fast eroding, and very high temperature variants to 2300°C), RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors to 850°C), and NTC thermistor probes. These core products are complemented by temperature transmitters (head mount, DIN rail, panel mount), digital displays and controllers (H3 series), thermowells, connectors, and conduit heads (general purpose, explosion-proof/ATEX). Specialty metals including molybdenum and tantalum tubing serve high-temperature applications. The company offers calibration services through an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited lab, custom sensor design, and engineering support. Fiber optic solutions are available through the partner company Infinity Fiber.
