Dresser Utility Solutions has completed its acquisition of RMG Messtechnik GmbH, expanding its portfolio of gas measurement technologies for natural gas transmission, utility and industrial applications.

The acquisition adds high-pressure ultrasonic and turbine gas meters, gas chromatographs, flow computers, data loggers and communication devices to Dresser’s existing measurement, instrumentation and flow control capabilities.

The transaction brings together complementary technologies used in gas infrastructure, including applications requiring accurate measurement of gas flow and composition. Such systems support natural gas transmission networks, gas processing facilities and other industrial operations.

“Bringing RMG into Dresser is an important step in our long-term growth strategy,” said David Evans, CEO of Dresser Utility Solutions. “The value of this acquisition goes beyond expanding our capabilities, it brings together two organizations with deep industry knowledge, strong customer relationships, and a shared focus on delivering reliable solutions.”

Headquartered in Butzbach, Germany, RMG employs approximately 230 people worldwide. The company maintains additional operations in Germany and offices in the United States, India, China, Dubai and Austria. It also operates through an international network of sales and service partners.

“Together, we can accelerate the development of advanced gas measurement technologies, expand our global reach and deliver even greater value to customers as the industry evolves,” said Thorsten Dietz, CEO of RMG.

Houston-based Dresser supplies infrastructure technologies for gas and water utilities and industrial customers. Its portfolio includes gas measurement equipment, digital instrumentation, software, pressure and flow control systems, and infrastructure repair products.

The acquisition follows an agreement announced in October and broadens Dresser’s international presence in the gas measurement market.

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
