Tempcontrol

What Tempcontrol does

Tempcontrol B.V. is a Netherlands-based specialist in temperature measurement and control solutions, founded in 1975 and headquartered in Nootdorp. The company designs and manufactures custom temperature sensors, distributes precision measurement instruments on behalf of international suppliers, and operates an in-house temperature calibration laboratory with VSL traceability. Tempcontrol serves diversified vertical markets including aerospace and aviation, food and dairy, medical and pharmaceutical, research laboratories, machine building, and process industries (petrochemical, plastics, steel, semiconductor), with sensors deployed in environments described by the company as ranging from deep sea to space. The firm celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2025.

The company's technology portfolio spans thermocouples, resistance thermometers (Pt100), infrared sensors, and fiber optic temperature measurement systems using GaAs crystal technology (FOTEMP series). Manufacturing occurs in-house, including in a cleanroom facility supporting high-purity sensor production for sensitive applications. The product offering comprises industrial, mineral-insulated, miniature, handheld, and reference standard temperature sensors; precision instruments including dew point mirrors, resistance bridges, calibration baths, and climatic chambers; and equipment such as indicators, controllers, transmitters, dataloggers, and ATEX-certified explosion-proof instruments. Accessories include thermowells, connectors, and thermocouple wire. The calibration laboratory produces traceable reports with stated uncertainty contributions and supports product development, quality control, and customer-specific R&D.

Tempcontrol operates a sales-led, direct distribution model. Pricing is quote-based, with technical consultation provided to customers requiring custom configurations. Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales of custom and standard temperature sensors, distribution of third-party precision instruments, and professional services including calibration, testing, and R&D. The company represents nine international instrument manufacturers — Ascon Tecnologic, Wika, COMEM, Dostmann, Giussani, INOR, Kambic, Novasens, and Process Insights — providing a multi-brand portfolio to customers primarily in the Netherlands and broader European market. Certifications held include FDA Title 21, (EC) 1935/2004 for food-grade sensors, and ATEX for explosion-proof instruments, supporting entry into regulated end markets.
