EDISON, NJ, UNITED STATES, July 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GMC Instruments, a global leader in electrical measurement and testing technology, based in Nuremberg, Germany, has announced the establishment of its new sales, distribution and service headquarters for the Americas under the name GMC Instruments Americas.

This new entity will be based in Edison, NJ, home of Dranetz, a GMC Instruments brand recognized for power quality and energy management solutions. With this strategic move, the facilities in Edison will serve as the central hub for all GMC Instruments brands, solutions and services across North and South America.

The new headquarters in Edison, NJ, serves as the central hub for GMC Instruments’ key brands, including Dranetz, Camille Bauer, Gossen Metrawatt, Gossen (Photometry and Light Measurement), Rigel Medical, Prosys, and Seaward.

This integration allows GMC Instruments Americas to act as a one-stop shop for high-quality electrical measurement, testing, and energy management solutions for various industries including manufacturing, healthcare, utilities, aerospace, mission-critical operations, and electrical engineering.

“Centralizing our sales and distribution operations in our facility in Edison enables us to provide localized expertise, faster response times, and enhanced customer service across multiple industries,” said Lutz Boettger, Managing Director for GMC Instruments Americas. “This move reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality solutions with the efficiency and reliability that our customers expect,” added Ross Ignall, Director of Business Development for GMC Instruments Americas.

"Integrating Calibrationhouse into our Edison headquarters allows us to offer a comprehensive solution for calibration, testing, and repair services," said Ignall. "This underscores our commitment to quality and customer proximity, ensuring reliable service and seamless support for our valued customers.
