What Simer does

Simer Srl (doing business as Simer Instruments) is an Italian privately-held manufacturer of industrial instrumentation and fittings, headquartered in Camponogara (Venice), Italy. Founded in 1972, the company designs and produces a comprehensive portfolio of mechanical process-industry components organized into three functional categories: flow measurement instruments (orifice plates, venturi tubes, flow nozzles, pitot tubes, meter runs, flow straightening vanes, restriction orifice plates); pressure and temperature instrumentation (thermowells, thermoelements including thermocouples and RTDs, pots and syphons, flushing rings, fuse plugs); and process control hardware (single and double ferrule compression fittings, level gauges including reflex/transparent/magnetic/glass tube variants, ball and needle valves, two/three/five-valve manifolds, distribution manifolds, double block and bleed manifolds, pneumatic filter regulators and purge flow meters, and blow back systems for high-pressure lines up to 100 BAR). Products are offered in carbon steels, austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316), duplex steels (F51/F53/F55), and special alloys (Hastelloy C276, Inconel 625/825, Monel 400) to address corrosive and high-specification service environments.

The company's commercial model is direct B2B sales-led, with quote-based project pricing reflecting high degrees of customization. Engineering design partnership begins at the customer's early project definition phase, and Simer delivers tailor-made solutions against customer specifications for chemical, pharmaceutical, food, petrochemical, and electronics process plants, with newer emphasis on biogas and hydrogen energy applications. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no disclosed intermediaries or third-party resellers; customer engagement runs through phone, email, contact forms, and a bilingual Italian/English website that distributes a downloadable product catalogue and runs an email newsletter. The company operates with UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification and PED 2014/68/UE Module H pressure equipment certification, both mandatory prerequisites for serving regulated EU process-industry customers. Simer Srl has 11-50 employees, €100,000 issued share capital, VAT number 01308140290, and no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors.

Core offering

Simer manufactures industrial-level instruments and fittings for chemical, pharmaceutical, food, petrochemical, and electronics industries. The product portfolio includes flow measurement instruments (orifice plates, venturi tubes, flow nozzles, pitot tubes, meter runs), compression fittings, level gauges, thermowells and thermoelements, pneumatic system devices, valves, and manifolds. The company offers both standardized products and fully customized solutions designed to meet specific customer requirements, supported by engineering design partnership from early project stages.

Product overview

Simer Instruments is a manufacturer of industrial instruments and fittings serving the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, petrochemical, and electronics industries. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of precision instrumentation products organized into three main categories: flow measurement instruments (flow elements, orifice plates, venturi tubes, pitot tubes, meter runs), pressure/temperature instrumentation (thermowells, thermoelements, pots, syphons, flushing rings), and process control components (compression fittings, valves, manifolds, pneumatic instruments). The product range includes specialized product lines such as level gauges (reflex, transparent, magnetic, and glass tube types), blow back systems for high-pressure purging, and fuse plugs for overpressure protection. Products are available in various materials including stainless steel (AISI 316, AISI 304), duplex steel (F51, F53, F55), and special alloys (Inconel 625/825, Hastelloy C276, Monel 400) to meet demanding application requirements. The company operates with ISO 9001:2015 quality certification and PED 2014/68/UE compliance for pressure equipment.
