HGL Dynamics Limited was founded in Godalming UK in 2000 by Dr Jim Hone, Dr Andy Law and Emma Hone with the aim of developing leading edge Data Acquisition, Monitoring, Analysis and Data Management systems specifically for the Aero Gas Turbine Industry. The founders both had several years experience of providing Data Acquisition and Analysis systems within this sector and also within the defence and transport sectors prior to founding HGL Dynamics.

The company started as a software-centric organisation utilising 3rd party hardware, but quickly started developing its own PC solutions for hosting the software, and then moved into development of its own rugged and modular Data Acquisition Front Ends which have become the mainstay of the company and are sold globally to a wide range of customers in multiple industries.

The company has grown since 2000 from the original three founders to 45+ across a group of five independent companies in Europe (UK, France and Germany), The United States, and South Korea with a number of partner companies and long-term distributors across the globe.

Whilst primarily focused on Dynamic (1kHz - 100kHz bandwidth) Data Acquisition and Analysis, the company has more recently expanded into Steady State (1Hz - 1kHz) and High-Speed (100kHz - 10MHz) including Blade Tip Clearance (BTC) and Blade Tip Timing (BTT) applications.

All of our hardware solutions are supported by in-house developed Firmware and Software providing a true one-stop shop for Measurement Applications from “DC to Light".

Our original operational scope was tightly focused on the Aero Gas Turbine market with Rolls-Royce an early (and continuing) customer, and whilst this remains a substantial part of the business with Safran, ACAE, and Pratt and Whitney (amongst others), the company also diversified out to other industries including Industrial Gas Turbines, Wind Turbines, Marine, Railway and Oil & Gas markets.

In 2010 HGL Dynamics onboarded all its own hardware design and manufacture and today our Lincoln (UK) and Indianapolis (US) facilities operate modern, flexible PCB Surface Mount Assembly, Mechanical Machine Shops and System Build and Repair operations. The company also undertakes design, manufacture and testing operations for 3rd party customers in a wide array of applications.

HGL Dynamics also has a long history of providing onsite Test Support services for its customers and In 2021 this was strengthened to include Test Campaign Planning and Measurement Uncertainty services when we launched our German operation (Ertemes GmbH) in Berlin.
