What Measurement And Control Solutions, Inc. does

Measurement and Control Solutions, Inc. (MCS) is a privately held US industrial systems consultancy founded in 1993 and headquartered in Hampton, New Hampshire. The company serves as a technical and commercial resource for manufacturers of roll and coil goods in the converting, paper, nonwovens, metals, and wire & cable markets, specializing in upgrades to web handling production lines with modern controls, ergonomic operator interfaces, and real-time process and quality parameter data collection and certification systems.

MCS delivers an integrated portfolio of industrial measurement and control products: DC SCR and AC inverter/vector drives (including legacy Parker-Hannifin Eurotherm LINK distributed coordinated drive systems retrofit via fiber-optic peer-to-peer communications), web gauging systems (representing Mahlo America as Technical Sales Representative), automatic web inspection, oven web temperature control, PLC platforms across multiple brands, HMI/SCADA operator interfaces, and a data management layer that consolidates gauging, inspection, PLC, and SCADA data into a single source for product certification, yield analysis, and roll tracking. The platform integrates with LIMS, MES, ERP, and SQL historians via OPC and standard industrial protocols.

The business model is project-based and consultative: MCS scopes, engineers, installs, commissions, and supports custom solutions for end-user manufacturers, generating revenue from hardware/component sales (drives, PLCs, gauging equipment), engineering and integration services, and recurring service and support contracts including preventative maintenance and remote access. Pricing is custom-quoted per project with no public pricing or self-service channel; sales motion is direct enterprise field engagement with channel-partner facilitation through Mahlo America.

Broad incumbents

• Rockwell Automation: Rockwell Automation is a global incumbent in industrial automation offering drives, PLCs (Allen-Bradley/ControlLogix), HMIs, and SCADA systems that overlap with MCS's core product portfolio. It serves the same converting, paper, and process manufacturing customers at much greater scale, but as part of a broad portfolio rather than web-handling specialty.
• Emerson Automation Solutions: Emerson's automation solutions business covers measurement instrumentation, control valves, PLC/DCS systems, and software used in process industries including paper and converting. It overlaps with MCS's measurement and process control scope but operates at enterprise scale across many verticals.
• ANDRITZ Pulp & Paper: ANDRITZ supplies equipment, automation, and services for pulp and paper mills including drives, process control, and modernization projects. It competes with MCS for paper machine upgrade and automation business and serves the same North American paper mill customers.
• ABB: ABB is a global supplier of AC/DC drives, PLCs, and industrial automation including offerings for paper, metals, and web handling. As a broad incumbent it competes for the same plant upgrade budgets MCS addresses, with overlapping drive and coordinated drive system capabilities.
• Voith Paper: Voith Paper supplies complete paper machines and components, including drives, control systems, and modernization services for paper mills. It overlaps with MCS in paper machine upgrade projects but operates at OEM scale rather than as a niche retrofit integrator.
• Yokogawa Electric: Yokogawa manufactures industrial measurement and control instruments, including flowmeters, analyzers, and control systems used in process plants. While broader than web-handling, it competes for measurement and control budgets in similar industrial process segments.
• Honeywell Process Solutions: Honeywell provides process control systems, measurement instrumentation, and SCADA for continuous process industries. It targets similar plant upgrade opportunities as MCS, particularly in paper and web-handling-adjacent process manufacturing.
• Siemens Digital Industries: Siemens provides SIMATIC PLCs, SINAMICS drives, and SCADA systems widely used in paper, converting, and continuous process industries that match MCS's application domains. It is a broad incumbent offering overlapping capabilities across the full industrial automation stack but does not focus on web-handling retrofit integration.

Direct peers

• Kadant: Kadant is a public industrial equipment supplier focused on stock-preparation, fiber processing, and web handling including doctor blades and doctoring equipment for paper and recycling. It shares MCS's web-handling process industry focus and serves many of the same paper mill and converting customers.
• Mahlo America: Mahlo is the principal partner whose gauging systems MCS resells and integrates. As a manufacturer of on-line web gauging systems for thickness, basis weight, and moisture, it is the most directly comparable peer, with MCS acting as its US technical sales representative.
