As noted in the joint message from BIPM and OIML, accurate and reliable measurement data serve as a crucial foundation for policymakers in formulating policies to address various complex challenges. Whether it is safeguarding public health, ensuring public safety, or conducting environmental monitoring and trade exchanges, none of these can be done without accurate measurement data. Only when measurement data are accurate, reliable, and comparable can decisions be clearer, more scientific, and trusted by the public.

 

Under this defining issue of our time, metrology is not only a science but also a responsibility. WENZEL, as a globally leading supplier of coordinate measuring technology and the largest family-owned company in this industry, has always responded to this responsibility through its actions.

WENZEL knows well: precision is no accident. It comes from an obsession with details, years of experience, and an unrelenting commitment to quality standards.

 

Since 1968, the name WENZEL has stood for pioneering measurement technology 'Made in Germany.' As early as 1980, we developed our first coordinate measuring machine. For more than half a century, we have always believed that quality must be measurable. Every component deserves the focus and precision it requires to fulfill its function. This belief drives WENZEL to continuously deepen its presence in the field of measurement technology — from compact entry-level devices to large, high-end precision equipment, covering the full spectrum with comprehensive solutions. From traditional contact coordinate measurement to industrial CT non-destructive testing, WENZEL consistently leverages its complete measurement technology portfolio to make every invisible detail clearly visible.

 

Coordinate measurement technology has never been just about the acquisition of geometric data. In Wenzel’s view, it is the foundation of reliable processes, perfect products, and sustainable development.

 

We are committed to making the invisible visible: the smallest deviations, the tightest tolerances, and those critical details that are often overlooked. Because it is precisely these details that determine whether a product is reliable, whether a process is stable, and whether a decision can be trusted.

The concept advocated by World Metrology Day 2026 resonates strongly with WENZEL is long-standing business philosophy.

In their joint message, the BIPM and OIML call for strengthening international cooperation in metrology, promoting the trustworthiness and comparability of measurement results worldwide, and providing a foundation of trust in accurate and reliable measurement data for sound decision-making.

 

And WENZEL is mission is precisely this: to build instruments and equipment that not only measure with precision but also support reliable decision-making. What we provide is more than just coordinate measuring machines — it is a guarantee of accurate and reliable performance in daily operations.

As the largest family-owned company in this industry, WENZEL carries not only the pursuit of technological leadership but also a long-term commitment to its customers, to the industry, and to society. We do not chase short-term trends. Instead, with years of accumulated experience and an obsession with details, we safeguard the most essential values of metrology — truthfulness, comparability, and trustworthiness.

 

On the occasion of World Metrology Day 2026, Wenzel is committed to working together with metrology colleagues around the world to put into practice the initiative of the BIPM and OIML: to ensure that every measurement stands up to scrutiny, that every set of data can support sound decisions, and that precision becomes the most solid foundation of trust.
