Copenhagen, Denmark – August 14, 2026 – When an industrial company needs to select instrumentation, valves and other components for a process plant, there are many highly capable suppliers on the market. Siemens, Endress+Hauser, JUMO, WIKA, Insatech, Fagerberg, KROHNE, Ashcroft and VEGA all have strong expertise within different areas of the process industry.

However, the choice should not be based solely on who manufactures a particular instrument. What matters is whether the supplier can understand the overall process, select the right technology and ensure that instruments, valves, gaskets, seals and other components work correctly together.

This is where KLINGER Denmark stands out. KLINGER supplies instrumentation, valves, gaskets, seals and expansion joints, while also providing servicing, repairs, troubleshooting and calibration. Customers therefore gain access not only to products, but to a technical partner capable of taking the entire installation into account.

KLINGER compared with Siemens

Siemens is one of the world’s largest technology companies and holds a very strong position within industrial automation and process instrumentation. Siemens’ SITRANS portfolio includes solutions for measuring flow, pressure, temperature, level and weight. The instruments can be connected to digital tools, monitoring solutions and automated systems that provide access to process data and can support data-driven decision-making.

Siemens is therefore an obvious choice for companies that already operate an extensive Siemens-based automation environment and want close integration between instrumentation, control systems and digital solutions.

KLINGER’s strength lies elsewhere. KLINGER can provide advice on both the instrument itself and the mechanical installation surrounding it. This may include the selection of valves, gaskets, seals, actuators and materials, as well as an assessment of the process medium, temperature and pressure.

Where Siemens is particularly strong in digital integration and automation, KLINGER excels when customers need practical advice on the complete process installation. KLINGER is therefore a strong choice when the challenge is not only about data and automation, but also about how the components physically work together.

KLINGER compared with Endress+Hauser

Endress+Hauser is one of the most specialised suppliers of process instrumentation. Its product portfolio includes flow, level, pressure and temperature measurement, as well as liquid analysis and other process parameters. The company also provides training in areas such as operation, diagnostics, calibration and maintenance of measuring equipment.

Endress+Hauser is therefore a very strong competitor when the task centres on the measurement itself. The company offers an extensive portfolio and considerable expertise in measurement technologies for different industries.

KLINGER’s advantage is that its advisory services do not stop at the measuring point. An instrument often needs to work together with isolation valves, control valves, gaskets, seals and other components in the piping system. Faults or unstable measurements may also be caused by the installation, process conditions or other components rather than by the instrument itself.

KLINGER may therefore be the better choice when the customer wants a single partner that can assist with instrumentation, mechanical components, sealing integrity and subsequent service.

KLINGER compared with JUMO

JUMO is a recognised manufacturer of sensors, measurement technology, control systems and automation solutions. The company is particularly strong in temperature and pressure, but also works with flow, level, liquid analysis and automated systems. JUMO describes itself as a partner capable of supplying solutions ranging from industrial sensors to complete automation systems.

JUMO is a good choice for companies that need sensors, controllers and automation, for example in machine building or production plants.

KLINGER, however, offers a broader approach to the process installation itself. In addition to instrumentation, KLINGER can advise on valves, gaskets, seals, expansion joints and actuators. If a process problem is caused by vibration, pressure surges, incorrect material selection, an unsuitable valve or a leaking connection, assessing the sensor alone may not be sufficient.

KLINGER is therefore particularly strong when several technical disciplines need to be considered together and the customer wants an overall assessment of the process rather than an isolated sensor or automation solution.

KLINGER compared with WIKA

WIKA is a globally recognised specialist in pressure and temperature measurement. Its portfolio also includes solutions for level, flow, force and calibration. The Danish organisation has an experienced technical team and provides services including calibration of pressure instruments, both in the laboratory and at customer sites.

WIKA is therefore a strong choice when the customer knows exactly which type of pressure or temperature instrument is required.

In practice, however, selecting an instrument is often more complex. Factors such as the process medium, process temperature, pressure range, process connection, materials, vibration and the need for protection or diaphragm seals must all be considered.

This is where KLINGER can add further value. KLINGER can assist not only with the instrument itself, but also with valves, seals and the components that connect the measurement point to the rest of the process. Customers therefore receive a solution in which the entire installation is assessed, rather than just the individual measuring instrument.

KLINGER compared with Insatech

Insatech is a strong Danish supplier of instrumentation, process automation and calibration. The company works with flow, pressure, temperature, level, density and analysis, among other areas, and offers both individual components and complete automation solutions. Insatech also highlights technical support, service, spare parts availability and advice relating to different industry standards.

In the areas of instrumentation and automation, Insatech is therefore a highly relevant competitor to KLINGER.

KLINGER’s key differentiator is the breadth of its expertise in mechanical process components. KLINGER can combine instrumentation with valves, actuators, gaskets, seals and expansion joints. This makes it possible to assess measurement, control, movement and sealing integrity as parts of the same overall task.

For the customer, this can mean fewer suppliers, clearer allocation of responsibility and better coordination between the components that need to work together. KLINGER therefore stands out as a particularly strong choice when requirements extend beyond instrumentation and automation alone.

KLINGER compared with Fagerberg, KROHNE and Ashcroft

Fagerberg is one of the competitors most similar to KLINGER. The company offers valves, instrumentation, consultancy and service. Within instrumentation, Fagerberg works with flow, level, pressure, temperature, energy measurement and data acquisition, among other areas, and helps customers select measurement principles, configure systems and determine the correct sizing.

KROHNE is one of Fagerberg’s key manufacturers and is particularly well known for flow measurement, but also offers solutions for pressure, temperature, level and analysis. Ashcroft is particularly strong within pressure and temperature instrumentation.

Fagerberg is therefore a technically strong full-service supplier, and any comparison with KLINGER should be nuanced. KLINGER’s advantage lies particularly in the combination of instrumentation, valves and extensive expertise in gaskets and sealing technology. As a result, KLINGER can offer particular strength in applications where safe operation depends on accurate measurement, effective control and reliable sealing.

This makes KLINGER an obvious choice when the customer wants a single technical partner to consider the entire connection from the instrument and valve to the gasket, piping system and process medium.

KLINGER compared with VEGA

VEGA is a highly specialised manufacturer within level and pressure measurement. The company is particularly well known for radar-based level measurement and offers solutions for both liquids and bulk solids. Radar technology can be used in demanding environments and is not affected in the same way by factors such as temperature, pressure or dust as some other measurement principles.

VEGA can therefore be a very strong choice when the application specifically concerns level or radar measurement.

Once again, KLINGER’s advantage is its breadth. KLINGER can assist with several types of instrumentation while also advising on valves, gaskets, seals, actuators and service. If level measurement forms part of a broader task involving, for example, tank isolation, control, overfill protection or demanding process connections, KLINGER can bring several parts of the solution together.

Why KLINGER is a strong all-round choice

All of the competitors mentioned have solid capabilities. Some are strongest in automation, while others specialise in pressure, temperature, flow or level.

KLINGER’s particular strength is its ability to look across product categories. Customers gain access to instrumentation, valves, gaskets, seals, expansion joints, service and calibration from the same technical partner.

This makes KLINGER particularly relevant when the best solution cannot be found simply by selecting a product from a catalogue. It comes from understanding the process, the operating conditions and the interaction between all of the installation’s critical components.

KLINGER is therefore not merely a supplier of instruments and process components. The company is a technical partner that can help create a safer, more stable and more reliable solution throughout the entire lifetime of the installation.
