25 Years and Measuring: The Sempre Group celebrates their quarter of a century anniversary

The Sempre Group, a leader in metrology solutions, proudly celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, marking a quarter-century of empowering manufacturers with advanced technologies that transform quality and efficiency.

Since its inception in 1998, The Sempre Group has partnered with global metrology system providers to support the UK and Ireland manufacturing industry with their quality.

Across many sectors including aerospace, automotive, medical, and precision engineering, Sempre is able to solve complex metrology challenges and help businesses improve their overall productivity.

By delivering tailored, outcome-focused solutions, the company has consistently enabled its clients to achieve operational excellence and strategic growth.

Founded as Metrology Direct, The Sempre Group quickly established itself as a trusted supplier of high-quality measuring and testing systems.

As manufacturing evolved and customer needs grew more complex, the company recognised the opportunity to expand beyond its original offerings.

This strategic vision led to its rebrand as The Sempre Group, reflecting a commitment to “always” delivering value through integrated solutions, technical expertise, and exceptional service.

Mike John, Managing Director at the time of the rebrand, reflected:
“Metrology Direct fulfilled its purpose, but we needed a broader focus to achieve our ambitions. As The Sempre Group, we’ve built a brand that is highly respected, trusted, and dedicated to creating tangible value for our customers, partners, and employees.”

Continuing this legacy of growth and innovation, The Sempre Group reached a significant milestone in October 2024 by joining the Oxford Metrics family.

This partnership amplifies its ability to deliver market-leading metrology solutions while benefiting from Oxford Metrics’ global reach and expertise.

“Celebrating 25 years is a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation, quality, and collaboration,” said Jim Mangan, Managing Director.

“Our journey has been built on strong partnerships, and as we look ahead, we remain dedicated to empowering manufacturers with the tools they need to excel in an ever-evolving smarter manufacturing industry.”

As The Sempre Group reflects on 25 years of achievements, the focus remains firmly on the future.

With advancements in automation, sustainability, and digital transformation shaping the manufacturing landscape, the company is well-positioned to lead the way in providing solutions that address the evolving needs of its clients.
