Our

Story

The Sematec Métrologie story began in 1987 in La Frette (38) with three technicians previously employed by BLACK & DECKER in Brézin, Isère (France).

A provider of CMM metrology solutions, the business has seen strong growth since 2007, the date of its buy-out by its now retired former Managing Director, Jean-Noël BIETRIX.

In 2007, Sematec Métrologie employed a team of 15 people, and generated a turnover of €1 million.

In 2018, the Sematec Métrologie team passed the threshold of 100 people, and the business generated a turnover of €9 million.

To support this growth, the Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence group acquired shares in Sematec Métrologie’s business, and subsequently became the majority shareholder.
