This is a marketing text, and of course it talks about what is produced:
"Qualität bieten wir in allen anderen Bereichen der Handmesstechnik..."
I am searching for the correct term. Whether this should be "hand measurement technology", "hand measurement tools" or perhaps "manual" instead of "hand". Googling has not helped.
Thanks in advance.

The 'Hand-' part of the source term could also be rendered in English as 'mechanical' ( as opposed to, say, electrical or electronic). Thus,
Handmesstechnik = mechanical measurement (technology/systems)

Example sentence:
Portable Measurement Technology has improved dramatically over the years due to Metrology manufacturers seeing the huge potential for measuring any type of part, no matter how big, and in more or less any location, to an accuracy previously undreamed of.
