Mahr is a mid-sized corporation with global operations. Throughout the years the name Mahr has stood for industrial metrology, quality and innovation. Along with high-precision length, form, amd surface measurement devices for workpiece geometry, Mahr also manufactures precision gear metering pumps and rotary stroke bearings. Major applications for Mahr’s product lines include: manufacture of industrial parts and machinery, automobiles, and mechanical products; optics; electronics; synthetic fiber production; chemical processing and liquid handling (plastics and elastomers, adhesives, paints, oils, etc.)

Mahr was founded in 1861 in Esslingen, Germany to manufacture indicating measuring instruments, testing equipment, measuring machines and gear inspection units. In 1936, the Feinpruef factory opened in Goettingen, Germany to manufacture dimensional measuring instruments, and in 1945 the Feinpruef Spinning Pump Division was initiated. The Perthen line was added in 1973 in Hannover, Germany to produce form and surface texture gauging instruments. The Charlotte, NC, USA office opened as a subsidiary of the Feinpruef Spinning Pump Division in 1983.

In 1995, the entire family of companies was renamed Mahr after its founder for the purpose of global recognition. Today, the Mahr group is an ISO 9001 certified global leader in dimensional metrology equipment, high-precision rotary stroke bearings and ultra-precision gear metering pumps for a wide variety of polymer processing and other metering applications.

Now with over 1450 employees, 4 manufacturing facilities, and the addition of new subsidiaries, Mahr is more committed than ever to offering our customers a comprehensive line of measuring and metering equipment, and our customer service and support continues to exceed industry standards.

Mahr recognizes every customer as its worldwide partner.

About Mahr Metering Systems

Mahr Metering Systems Corporation of Charlotte, North Carolina, USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mahr Metering Systems GmbH, under the umbrella of Carl Mahr Holdings. The Charlotte location has served the North American pump and metering system market directly since 1983.

In 1948 Mahr created its line of metering pumps in support of Prof. Schlack who invented, in 1938, the Perlon fibre (Polyamide 6). The complete line of high-precision gear metering pumps has been manufactured under the brand name 'Feinpruef'. Aptly named the ‘spinning pump’, the Feinpruef high-precision gear metering pump excelled in the synthetic textile industry. Known for its superior manufacturing and metallurgy, major manufacturers still choose the Feinpruef pump as their partner today.

Feinpruef Corporation was opened in Charlotte, NC, in November 1983, serving the North American market with the product lines of metrology equipment and spinning pumps. Feinpruef Corporation was the company headquarters until October of 1991.

Mahr Metering Systems Corporation manufactured its first automated meter/mix/dispense system in 1993. Since this time, systems have been supplied to many diverse markets, such as adhesives, chemicals, paints, plastics, and silicones.

Mahr has formed alliances with many raw material suppliers, acting jointly in research and development to create effective metering systems for new materials. During this research Mahr has found new ways to accurately meter under almost any strenuous condition, including extremes of pressure, viscosity and temperature. Our goal is the custom design of every system to meet its exact operating requirements.

This facility practices the same level of customer commitment as any Mahr facility worldwide.
