Researching and testing materials places heavy demands on testing machines and equipment. Commercially available systems and equipment are often incapable of achieving the desired objectives and results.

Our mission as a service department is to bridge this gap and to develop suitable solutions. Our paramount objective is to assist our clients with their work by offering highly professional and efficient support and advice. Thanks to our wide and varied knowledge in the fields of machine and equipment construction, production technology, the verification of material testing machines and the corresponding sensors and close networking with research we are able to develop solutions to the most demanding problems and implement them efficiently.

Our multi-skilled team of specialists can assist you with every stage of a project from preparing the specification, design and manufacture, assembly and commissioning to continuous monitoring and calibration of your machines.

We make our wide experience in the field of verification and calibrating of material testing machines and sensors available to our internal customers as well as to a wide national and international clientele. 

The high-quality training of apprentices is a matter of great importance to us. Multi-skill technicians and physics laboratory technicians are given expert training in mechanical production in the workshop, and in design and technical drawing within the design team.
