The Sempre Group is marking 25 years of partnership with Hommel-Etamic as the German metrology manufacturer marks its 150th anniversary.

Hommel-Etamic, part of the Jenoptik Group, has built a 150-year legacy in precision measurement, manufacturing the Opticline, Waveline, Gageline and Visionline systems supplied and supported by The Sempre Group across the UK and Ireland.
Over the past quarter century, Sempre has worked closely with Hommel-Etamic to provide surface roughness, contour, form and optical shaft measurement solutions to UK manufacturers, supporting customers from system specification and installation through to calibration, servicing and long-term technical support.
One such customer isEurocams, where Hommel-Etamic Opticline systems have been in operation for more than 20 years.

“We’ve had our Opticline system in service for over 20 years here at Eurocams. It’s been regularly serviced and calibrated by Sempre, which has kept it performing exactly as it should. The build quality is solid, and the accuracy has remained consistent over time. From an engineering point of view, it’s a dependable piece of equipment that continues to deliver precise, repeatable results. We have always received reliable, effective support from Sempre.”
says John Watson, Technical Manager, Eurocams.
“The Sempre Group has partnered with Hommel-Etamic since its inception over 25 years ago. We have always enjoyed the trust, bond and professional approach that Hommel-Etamic brings to providing our customers in the manufacturing industries throughout the UK and Ireland with leading technical solutions of quality and longevity. We cherish the partnership and look forward to many more years of our collaboration as we continue to grow. On our stand at MACH 2026, we will join together to mark this significant milestone of 150 years! Many congratulations”
says Dr Simon Gunter, Divisional MD: Smart Manufacturing.
The durability of Hommel-Etamic systems and the continued technical support provided by Sempre reflect the strength of this long-standing partnership. For many customers, the combination of robust German engineering and responsive UK-based service has ensured that measurement technology remains precise and current, a testament to both manufacturer and distributor as they approach this shared milestone.

That combined heritage will be on show at MACH 2026. The Sempre Group will be exhibiting the Hommel-Etamic and Jenoptik Opticline range alongside the Waveline and Gageline systems at its 100sqm stand, Stand 19-439 in Hall 19. Visitors will be able to explore the full measurement portfolio and discuss how these systems can be integrated into existing manufacturing processes.
