What Em-Tec does
Em-tec GmbH is a Germany-based developer and manufacturer of non-invasive, ultrasound-based flow measurement sensors for medical and industrial applications. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Finning, Germany, the company operates as a brand within PSG (Pump Solutions Group), a division of Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV). Its product portfolio centers on the SonoTT family — the SonoTT aQuila System for independent clinical flow measurement (e.g., dialysis, ECMO), the SonoTT Clamp-On SL for non-invasive clamp-on integration into medical device tubing, and the SonoTT SkyLark for embedded flow sensing — addressing the hygienic and regulatory requirements of life-sustaining extracorporeal applications including intensive care, surgical care, and organ transport, with extensions into bioprocessing and semiconductor manufacturing.
The company's business model is primarily hardware sales of flow measurement sensor systems and components to medical device manufacturers, clinics, and hospitals, supplemented by bioprocessing and semiconductor customers. Go-to-market is executed through a global distributor network (with a dedicated Distributor Portal and Locator) and direct sales via the PSG/Dover corporate organization; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is presumed to be quote-based given the B2B medical device context. Em-tec monetizes its 35 years of specialization in hygienic, non-invasive ultrasound measurement as a designed-in component supplier rather than a platform or software vendor.
Em-tec was founded in 1989 as a flow measurement specialist and has gradually broadened both its product line (most recently with the 2024 SonoTT aQuila launch) and its vertical reach from medical into bioprocessing and semiconductor. Operating under the PSG/Dover corporate umbrella provides distribution scale and corporate infrastructure, while specific financials, headcount, and named customer relationships are not publicly disclosed, limiting direct visibility into its commercial trajectory.
