Spectris Plc, a U.K. maker of precision and testing equipment, is exploring the sale of its Omega Engineering unit, according to people familiar with the matter.

The British company is working with an adviser on the sale of the U.S. process measurement and control instrumentation business, which it considers non-core, said the people. First-round bids for Omega are due in the coming weeks, they said, asking not to be identified because the discussions are private.
