A. Hock MSR and Electronic Service

What A. Hock MSR and Electronic Service does

A. Hock MSR- und Electronic Service GmbH is a family-owned German manufacturer and distributor of industrial valves, actuators, positioners, and measurement-and-control instrumentation, headquartered in Wörth am Main and founded in 1995 in Offenbach am Main by Alwin Hock, with Dominic Hock now serving as a Managing Director. The company designs and produces pneumatic and electric control valves across multiple in-house series (Series 2000, 2003/13, 1003/13, V5066, 9000, 2060), the EP2500 positioner, and—since November 2024—the LoRaWAN easybox 2 wireless vibration/condition-monitoring module, having cumulatively sold over 100,000 Series 2000 units. It also operates as a certified distributor for Honeywell (since 2001) and Flowserve (since 2004/2006, with proprietary manufacturing rights granted in 2008 for selected lines), and holds NACE, SIL, ATEX, TA-Luft, ISO 15848, PED, DGRL, and DIN EN 10240-3.1 certifications.

The business serves an installed base of more than 6,000 customers across oil and gas (e.g., PCK Schwedt, BP Raffinerie, Gunvor, Hellenic Petroleum, LLC KINEF), chemicals (DuPont, Pfaudler), hydrogen and electrolyzers (Battolyser Systems, hyBit/ArcelorMittal Bremen), and food (Bempflinger, ASA Horst Wieber, Orkla Group), with a 2,000 m² manufacturing and service facility and approximately 20 employees. Revenue mechanics are project-driven and quote-based, combining OEM-distributed branded products, proprietary manufactured valves, and aftermarket services including valve sizing, condition monitoring, repair, and retrofit.

The operating model is a hybrid of certified OEM distribution (Honeywell, Flowserve), licensed in-house manufacturing (Flowserve-licensed lines), proprietary branded products (Series 2000 family, EP2500, LoRaWAN easybox 2), and engineering services. Go-to-market is technical, sales-led, and reference-driven, anchored by NACE/SIL/ATEX credentials that gate entry to refinery, hydrogen, and chemical applications. Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward the hydrogen economy and IoT-enabled condition monitoring, leveraging the existing distribution relationships to cross-sell adjacent sensing products such as the Honeywell Versatilis Signal Scout.
