About Chauvin Arnoux
Chauvin Arnoux is an independent French family-owned company with over 130 years of experience in the fields of measurement, control, safety and energy efficiency. The company develops and manufactures electrical measurement and test equipment, including machine testers, power and power quality analysers, earth and resistance testers, power loggers, photovoltaic testers, battery testers, air quality and CO measurement devices, and thermal imaging cameras with AI-supported evaluation software. The products are sold under the Chauvin Arnoux, Metrix and Multimetrix brands. In-house development and production is a core part of the company's DNA; the group operates its own production facilities at three sites in Normandy (Vire, Villedieu-les-Poêles, Pont-l'Évêque), in Meyzieu (Pyrocontrôle product lines), and at the international subsidiaries in Shanghai (China), Dover (USA) and Milan (Italy). The sales network covers more than 120 countries and 10 subsidiaries. Customers come from the electricity, energy efficiency, industrial maintenance, statutory inspection, climate and environment, and education and laboratory sectors.
