NEMETRA

What NEMETRA does

METRA SAS, trading as NEMETRA, is an industrial equipment company founded in 1952 and headquartered in Jarny, France, operating as a subsidiary of the MPH Energie group since 2018. The company designs, supplies, and services flow measurement, dosing, and fluid handling systems for industrial process applications, with particular depth in harsh-environment and metrological-legal use cases. Its portfolio spans six product categories — gas and liquid analysis (calorimeters, chromatographs, density sensors, viscometers, interface probes); counting and flow measurement (mechanical, Coriolis mass, electromagnetic, ultrasonic, vortex, and differential-pressure meters); gas pressure reduction and safety (regulators up to ANSI 600, safety shut-off valves, pilots); modular dosing systems; fluid handling equipment (loading arms, grounding systems, EUS-2 anti-overflow controllers, walkways, loading platforms, mobile ladders); and turnkey containerized skid solutions for gas compression, transactional metering, and air/LPG mixing. Core technology rests on physical measurement principles — Coriolis effect, electromagnetic induction, ultrasound, vortex shedding, differential pressure, and gas chromatography — paired with signal electronics that transmit data via 4-20 mA, pulse, and standard industrial protocols; AI/ML functionality is not part of the offering.

The company goes to market primarily through direct sales out of its Jarny headquarters, supplemented by a field network of itinerant technicians trained for maximum autonomy who deliver commissioning, remote troubleshooting, preventive/corrective maintenance, and repairs across France and internationally. It monetizes through one-time equipment sales, professional service contracts, and managed-service turnkey projects where METRA retains design-to-commissioning responsibility. Customer segments span oil & gas (storage, refining, loading/unloading, transportation), natural gas transport and distribution, hydrogen distribution, fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, agri-food, chemical/petrochemical, furnaces and burners, fluids/utilities, and machine manufacturers. Notable technology dependencies include core partnerships with Rheonik (Coriolis), Honeywell/Elster and Honeywell Höngastec (gas counting, pressure reduction, analysis), RMG (gas counting and analysis), Bopp-Reuther (flow, density, concentration), Fornovo Gas (gas compression), Timm Technology (grounding systems), and Aquasant (interface/foam/level detection), positioning the company as a multi-vendor systems integrator rather than a manufacturer of proprietary core measurement devices.
