The beginnings of the MRU

1984

Foundation of the company MRU – Messgeräte für Rauchgase und Umweltschutz – by Erwin Hintz on 1st, June 1984 in Heilbronn, Germany.

1988

1st, October 1988 the German 1.BImSchV (Small Combustion Plant Directive) came into effect, which entitled the chimney sweepers to carry out emission measurements at small combustion plants. The demand for flue gas measuring units multiplied almost overnight. Industrial systems, which were basis of the founding-idea, lost importance in the market. A new generation of measuring units had to be developed.

1993

Foundation of the first subsidiary in Austria.

1994

Opening and move to the first own premises in Neckarsulm-Obereisesheim. At this time, MRU employed about 50 people and the first industrial gas analyzer is sold.

MRU worldwide

1998

A worldwide revision of attitudes towards environmental protection began. The German laws “TA-Luft” and 1.BImSchV many times served as guidelines in that process. However, the driving power was not always the intent of environmental protection rather than saving energy. New markets grew. New analyzers, often tailored to country - specific requirements, were developed. MRU Emission Monitoring Systems are being exported in more than 70 countries worldwide. From a quite small beginning, our company developed into a medium-sized, globally acting and very successful enterprise.

2000

Foundation of the first German service center in Unna, Nordrhein-Westfahlen.

2001

Foundation of the subsidiary in Poland.

2004

Foundation of the subsidiary in the Czech Republic.

2006

Foundation of the second German service center in Markt-Schwaben, Bavaria, and foundation of the subsidiaries in the USA and Slovenia.

MRU sets standards

2010

Introduction of our SPECTRAplus multifunctional measuring instrument for the chimneysweeper market in Germany. At the same time, we were introducing our OPTIMA7 industrial hand-held measuring instrument in the export market. With both devices, we were able to set standards. With our OPTIMA7 it is possible to analyze up to seven gas components in parallel, and the SPECTRAplus still is the benchmark in the market.

2012

In 2012, a new facility, 2.500m² in size and equipped with most modern manufacturing possibilities, went into operation.

2013

Foundation of the subsidiary in Russia.

2014

Foundation of the subsidiary in Turkey.
