For many years, the People's Republic of China has been one of the most important export markets for German mechanical engineering companies. And: Behind every machine that is put into operation is a 3D measurement!
Our team has been providing professional measurement services internationally for many years and has had its own office in China since 2014. Here, we offer you a German-Chinese team for all measurement services in mechanical engineering, with a special focus on the automotive industry.
As your local partner, we help you overcome language barriers when working with Chinese customers, partners, and government agencies—and guarantee clear, expert communication regarding project-specific and technical details. You can expect the same from all our services in China as you do in Germany and at all our locations worldwide: the highest precision, state-of-the-art measurement systems, and a team with proven, hands-on expertise!
You can access all sigma3D services for 3D measurement of your plants and machines directly at our Chinese location. For software development and more complex reverse-engineering challenges, we also draw on our team in Germany.
All members of our Sino-German team hold engineering degrees and work strictly in accordance with German standards.
Do you prefer yuan or euros? Simply decide for yourself whether you’d like to commission our services in Germany or China. We can easily handle quotes, contracts, and invoicing for you through any of our locations.
You can choose how you’d like our project management to work for you: We can manage your project from Germany and use our Chinese office solely to perform the measurement services. Or our on-site team in China can handle everything as a one-stop solution.
With either model, you can always count on our offices to collaborate and support one another when technical questions arise.

Since we opened our office in Shenyang in 2014, our team—led by Managing Director Leschek Kroll—has grown to 20 employees. From here, we carry out numerous measurement projects throughout China each year for German and Chinese industrial companies.
The location was a key factor in our decision to choose Shenyang as our headquarters: It is the capital of Liaoning Province and also the transportation hub of Northeast China. This region is home to the automotive, railcar, and aircraft manufacturing industries, along with their supplier networks.
