DRUCK & TEMPERATUR Leitenberger GmbH

What DRUCK & TEMPERATUR Leitenberger GmbH does

DRUCK & TEMPERATUR Leitenberger GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer of measurement, testing, and calibration instrumentation, founded in 1969 in Reutlingen and headquartered since 1987 in Kirchentellinsfurt, Baden-Württemberg, Germany (Bahnhofstr. 33). The company develops, produces, and distributes instruments for six physical parameters — pressure, temperature, torque, force, speed, and fill level — under its LR-Cal sub-brand, alongside a complementary calibration services business. Manufacturing is conducted in-house at a 9,700 m² facility under an 'Engineered and Made in Germany' positioning, with the company explicitly highlighting a 'very large depth of fabrication'. Product capabilities include bench-mount torque calibrators (LR-Cal LFC 80, ±0.2% accuracy, 0.5–2000 Nm range, USB interface, data logger option), portable temperature calibrators (LR-Cal LTC series with color touchscreen, three measurement inputs, interchangeable inserts), and free proprietary Windows software (LR-Cal LDM-COM) for calibration data and device memory management.

The company monetizes through three streams: (1) hardware sales of measurement and calibration instruments sold directly from headquarters and through an authorized international distributor network supported by a protected distributor portal; (2) professional calibration services, including DAkkS-accredited ISO 17025 certificates and factory inspection certificates per DIN EN 10204, performed in-house or on-site; and (3) repair, maintenance, and training services for calibration equipment. Pricing is quotation-based with advance payment (Vorkasse) terms typical of German B2B industrial sales. Sales reach is global via a four-language website (DE/EN/FR/ES), a LinkedIn corporate page, and recurring participation in international trade fairs including CONTROL (Stuttgart) and ACHEMA (Frankfurt).

The customer base spans regulated industrial verticals — calibration laboratories and quality assurance, chemical/petrochemical, hydraulics, food, marine (onshore and offshore), medical technology, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals — where traceable, ISO 17025-compliant calibration is a purchasing prerequisite. The company is family-managed: leadership transferred from co-founders Erich Coulon and Reinhold Leitenberger to Gernot Coulon and Achim Leitenberger in 1998, with the third generation already involved. The business is ISO 9001:2015 certified, GDPR-compliant, and operates as one of three sister companies within the LEITENBERGER group alongside AUTOTESTGERÄTE Leitenberger GmbH and LEITENBERGER Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH.

Core offering

Develops, manufactures, and sells precision measurement and calibration instruments for industrial physical parameters — pressure, temperature, torque, force, speed, and fill level — under the proprietary LR-Cal brand. Alongside instruments, the company delivers DAkkS-accredited calibration services, repair, and operator training from its German facility.

Product overview

DRUCK & TEMPERATUR Leitenberger GmbH offers a comprehensive portfolio of measurement, testing, and calibration instruments for physical parameters including pressure, temperature, torque, force, speed, and fill level. The product range is organized under the LR-Cal sub-brand and includes seven core product categories: pressure measurement (Druckmessung), pressure calibration (Druckkalibrierung), temperature measurement (Temperaturmessung), temperature calibration (Temperaturkalibrierung), torque/force/speed (Drehmoment+Kraft+Drehzahl), fill level (Füllstand), and data loggers (Datenlogger). Key products include the LR-Cal LFC 80 bench-top torque calibrator with optional LFC-ATCplus fixture and LDM-COM software, and the new LR-Cal LTC series of portable temperature calibrators featuring touchscreen interface and multiple measurement inputs. The company also provides calibration certificate services including DAkkS accredited certifications. Products are engineered and manufactured in Germany.
