Wagner Measuring and Control Technology

What Wagner Measuring and Control Technology does

Wagner Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer of precision mass flow and pressure measurement and control instruments, headquartered in Offenbach am Main. Founded in 1969, the company designs and sells instruments for gases, liquids, and vapors based on thermal, Coriolis, and ultrasonic measurement principles, with product lines including the mini CORI-FLOW Coriolis series (covering 0.05 g/h to 300 kg/h), EL-FLOW Prestige thermal mass flow controllers, ES-FLOW ultrasonic flow meters, EL-PRESS pressure controllers, and WADose precision dosing pumps. It also operates a DAkkS ISO/IEC 17025 accredited in-house calibration laboratory and a wholly-owned subsidiary, FLUSYS GmbH, focused on custom system solutions and engineering.

The company serves more than 7,000 customers across six primary verticals: industrial manufacturing (including battery production and hydrogen/clean energy), pharmaceutical and biotechnology, food and beverage, medical devices, and laboratory/research. Revenue is generated through direct, quote-based hardware sales of instruments, project-based system and OEM solutions, and recurring calibration and certification services delivered via the company's accredited lab and on-site mobile calibration teams. Wagner's go-to-market is sales-led with a strong event-driven component, anchored by direct sales, application engineering, the proprietary "Mass Flow Tour" mobile demonstration program, trade shows (e.g., MEORGA MSR-Spezialmesse), webinars, and a "Flownews" email newsletter.

Wagner's competitive positioning rests on over 55 years of domain specialization in low and ultra-low flow measurement, a multi-bus instrument platform with field-swappable communication interfaces, and a strategic technology partnership with Bronkhorst High-Tech (whose instruments Wagner distributes and services as an authorized GSO partner), supplemented by a long-standing distribution relationship with Badger Meter Europa (Top Platinum Distributor status since 2019). The company has expanded through acquisition, notably Rösler + CIE. Instruments (April 2020), and holds ISO 9001 (since 2002) and ISO/IEC 17025 (since 2014) certifications.
