The acquisition of MeSys by Marposs Group represents a great opportunity for both companies, based on 70 years of expertise in precision measurement and quality control across several industries. According to the company group, this strategic move highlights Marposs’ commitment to reliability and innovation into new markets, setting the stage for a new era in the converting industry.
From decades of innovation to new industry standards
Since 1952, Marposs has built a global reputation for precision and quality in industries like machine tools, automotive, semiconductors & electronics, and aerospace. This history of excellence now extends to the converting industry, where MeSys’ basis weight measurement technologies will be elevated by Marposs’ global infrastructure of service, support, and development. The collaboration between MeSys and Marposs specialists promises cutting-edge products, an extension of the product line-up, tailored to the unique needs of the converting industry.
Expanding capabilities
With the integration of advanced sensor technologies from the Marposs Group, MeSys now offers its customers an even broader range of solutions. Along with its established expertise in ultrasonic basis weight measurement, the company is now equipped with some of the most advanced technologies in thickness measurement, including chromatic confocal or interferometer sensors and laser micrometers. These are all proprietary, in-house innovations developed within the Marposs Group, designed to meet the evolving needs of modern industries. In addition, MeSys now benefits from access to a global network of service, research, and development resources. The group infrastructure (global network of over 80 offices in 34 countries and more than 3,500 employees) ensures customers receive unmatched support and solutions designed to anticipate future industry challenges.
Serving more industries
MeSys is now positioned to support and provide improved measurement solutions in sectors such as web materials, films, foils, and laminates within the converting industry, as well as energy, automotive, medical & pharmaceutical, all of which rely on precise standards for quality control. These industries demand high standards of precision, making MeSys’ advanced measurement technologies a vital asset. Additionally, the company’s sensors have the potential to contribute significantly to sustainability efforts, particularly in electric vehicle battery and fuel cell production, where accurate basis weight and thickness measurements are essential for efficiency and safety.
OF-Smart: a new and innovative product
The collaboration between Marposs and MeSys has already yielded innovative solutions, such as Unisense Smart and new unified SW HMI. This product is the result of collaboration between the two respective engineering teams and features state-of-the-art technology. In detail, the electronics that were previously mounted on the machine are now decoupled and come with a series of improvements designed, in particular for the new SW HMI, to increase performance. Combining the expertise of both companies, Unisense Smart sets new benchmarks for web film basis weight measurement, offering impressive accuracy and a modern design.
