TME

What TME does

TME France is a French industrial measurement systems manufacturer founded in 1981 and headquartered in Signes (Var), France, operating a single manufacturing facility with 11-50 employees. The company designs, manufactures, markets, and maintains complete measurement systems composed of three integrated product families: sensors (force, pressure, torque, displacement, temperature, and multi-component measurement), signal conditioners and displays (MCJ, ACJ, TG series, POCKET portable units, SOK 965 signal converters, and the CCN 1000 digital conditioning system), and data acquisition systems (the U-Log line including NANO, SMART, VISU, AIR Bluetooth telemetry, UNIVERSAL, and Data Display System II, plus RealView 3.0 software). Underlying technology is based on strain gauge sensors in Wheatstone bridge configurations, complemented by TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) for automatic sensor identification and electronic calibration.

The business model is a mix of hardware sales (sensors, conditioners, displays, data acquisition systems — manufactured in France), professional services (COFRAC-traceable calibration laboratory services covering force up to 30 tonnes and pressure up to 1000 bars; extensometry and strain gauge bonding services), managed services (after-sales maintenance, repair, recalibration, and periodic maintenance contracts), and one-time project revenue (custom design office services and tailor-made measurement product development). The company serves automotive (primary), aerospace, pharmaceutical, defense, energy, research/laboratories, industrial manufacturing, transport, and agri-food sectors. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct technical sales teams, personalized engineering support, and design office services, supported by a website product catalog, downloadable PDF datasheets, and 3D CAD files distributed via TraceParts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers contact TME directly for quotes, consistent with high-customization, project-based procurement.

TME has held ISO 9001:2015 certification since 2005 for design, manufacturing, sales, maintenance, and calibration activities, and operates one of the few COFRAC-traceable calibration laboratories in its segment, providing metrology chain traceability to national standards. It is a privately held independent company with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, venture capital, private equity investment, or M&A activity in the source material.
