What Ertemes does

ErTeMes GmbH is a Germany-based measurement technology system house (messtechnisches Systemhaus) headquartered in Zeuthen that delivers integrated measurement solutions for industrial testing applications. Its offering combines measurement hardware, software, and methodological consulting under a Systemhaus principle, anchored by exclusive authorized distribution, rental, and service rights for HGL Dynamics measurement products within the European Union. The portfolio spans measurement devices, data acquisition systems, modular add-on hardware, proprietary measurement software, and sensor integration into existing test environments, alongside services including test conceptualization, on-site test accompaniment by certified experts, measurement uncertainty analysis, measurement and test equipment management, and DGUV V3 electrical inspections. The company also operates a multi-track training program covering HGL systems, measurement uncertainty, metrology fundamentals, test and measurement methods, and equipment management.

ErTeMes addresses industrial customers with complex measurement and testing needs, with named reference accounts spanning aerospace testing (AneCom AeroTest), process engineering (SILICA Verfahrenstechnik), and carbon removal technology (Climeworks). The business model is sales-led and quote-based across all streams, with revenue generated from hardware sales, hardware rental, software licensing, professional services, training workshops, and managed service/maintenance contracts billed under multi-year arrangements. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with on-site expert deployment.

The company is founder-owned with two shareholder-managers, Marek Werther (Managing Director) and Sascha Ehrlich (Sales and Service of HGL Products), operates with six employees, and holds ISO 9001 certification achieved in September 2024. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investors are disclosed. The customer base appears concentrated among a small number of enterprise engagements, and the firm has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, app, or API surface, positioning it as a specialist services and distribution business rather than a software-scaling venture.

Broad incumbents

• Kistler Group: Swiss-based global leader in piezoelectric measurement technology for automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. Substantial overlap in aerospace and turbomachinery measurement where ERTEMES is active.
• National Instruments (NI): Major test, measurement, and data acquisition platform vendor with broad modular hardware and software stack. Larger and more diversified, but competes for the same industrial test-budget customer.
• Endress+Hauser: Global leader in industrial process measurement instrumentation and automation solutions. Operates broadly in the same measurement-and-control category, particularly for process engineering customers like SILICA Verfahrenstechnik.
• Hottinger Brüel & Kjær (HBK): Global incumbent in test, measurement, and sound & vibration solutions with broad hardware, software, and services portfolio. Significantly larger and broader than ERTEMES, but competes in the same measurement chain across many of the same verticals.

Direct peers

• Gantner Instruments: Austrian/German data acquisition and measurement specialist serving energy, aerospace, and structural test markets. Comparable niche position with modular measurement hardware and integration services.
• HGL Dynamics: HGL Dynamics manufactures the turbomachinery and aerodynamic measurement hardware that ERTEMES distributes. Directly comparable product offering and customer base; relationship is partnership-driven but offerings overlap materially in EU accounts.
• IMC Test & Measurement: German-headquartered data acquisition and measurement systems provider serving mechanical, electrical, and automotive test applications. Direct overlap in test system integration and measurement hardware supply to industrial customers.
• Burster Präzisionsmesstechnik: German precision measurement equipment manufacturer and integrator offering sensors, signal conditioning, and calibration systems for industrial test applications. Similar German Mittelstand profile and SMB customer base in industrial measurement.
• Dewesoft: European data acquisition and test/measurement solutions provider offering hardware, software, and integration services. Similar mid-sized European competitor with industrial test-and-measurement focus.

Emerging players

• AstroNova Test & Measurement: Specialized provider of data acquisition and recording systems for industrial test applications. Smaller-scale competitor with overlapping hardware and integration offerings for industrial test markets.
