MRU Messtechnik GmbH

What MRU Messtechnik GmbH does

MRU Messtechnik GmbH is an Austrian limited liability company headquartered in Wiener Neustadt, operating as the Austrian sales and service entity of the MRU group (whose German parent, MRU Deutschland, has been active for over 40 years). The company manufactures and distributes portable and stationary high-tech flue gas analyzers (Rauchgas-Analysatoren) under brands including SPECTRA, NOVAcompact, NOVAplus, DELTAsmart, VARIOluxx, and OPTIMA Industrie, with certified industrial products such as the MGAprime-Q meeting EN 15267 and DIN EN 14181 standards.

The product portfolio extends beyond combustion gas analysis into biogas analyzers (SWG 100 Biogas, NOVAplus Biogas), syngas analyzers (SWG 100 Syngas), dust and flow measurement devices, digital manometers and leak testing equipment (DM 9600, DPM 9600, 400GD/500GD detectors), personal protection devices, water analysis (PC5), and a 2024-2025 expansion into refrigeration technology via the MONTEC digital service tool. Supporting software includes MRU4win (Windows-based, with freemium and paid tiers) and the MRU4u mobile app for Bluetooth device integration.

Revenue is generated primarily through B2B hardware sales via a sales-led GTM motion with quote-based pricing, three named sales contacts (Karl Kornfeld, Karl Dorner, Georg Graf), and a domestic pickup service. Customer segments are concentrated in three verticals: chimney sweeps (Rauchfangkehrer), installers/service technicians (Installateure), and industrial users requiring emissions monitoring for regulatory compliance. The company is privately held, has no disclosed external funding, and shows no public listing.
