B+L Industrial Measurements Partners with Hardy to Serve European Market

B+L Industrial Measurements and Hardy Instruments announce a cooperation to deliver industrial weighing and tension control equipment to the European market. B+L, located in Heidelberg, Germany, will work with San Diego based Hardy Instruments to develop variations of existing Hardy process weighing and tension control instrumentation, and to create new designs for the European market. Existing Hardy Instruments customers will enjoy improved sales and service support throughout Europe, while B+L customers will gain a full line of industrial weighing instrumentation to choose from.

B+L, formerly known as the Weighing Electronics Branch within Bran & Luebbe, has over 35 years of experience in weighing, and a strong presence in the European market. Its well-established product line of weighing controllers is mostly used in dynamic applications, such as bag filling and batch weighing equipment. B+L will focus on marketing, applications support, and supplying and servicing the new B+L HARDY instrumentation. The German company will also play an active role in the creation of new products and will work with European agencies to attain the proper certifications and approvals for use in various applications.

Hardy Instruments, a leader in industrial weighing and tension control instrumentation, is well known for bringing innovative solutions to the process industry including WAVERSAVER® technology, which ignores vibration for accurate readings, C2® Second Generation Calibration, allowing accurate calibration of a weighing system without the use of test weights, and IT® Integrated Technician which facilitates troubleshooting from the front panel of the instrument or over a network. Its tension control systems reduce breakage and improve quality in web-, and wire-based manufacturing operations. Hardy’s worldwide Encompass™ partnership with Rockwell Automation enables B+L to develop market segments offering significant benefits to OEM’s, system integrators, and end users.

Dave Ness, president of Hardy Instruments, says: “We have long thought of B+L as Hardy's equivalent in the European market, and we are very honored and excited to be working with them. The value that both organizations bring to the table creates a selection of products and services that well exceeds that of each individual company.”

Leo Baartmans, managing director of B+L, adds: “When we chose Hardy Instruments as our partner, we were impressed with Hardy’s strong dedication to the process weighing markets. As we are traditionally strong in those markets in Europe, this is a great opportunity to benefit from the Hardy innovations. In addition, we see this as a chance for the development of products for global markets.”
