We focus on continuous improvement, helping you stay ahead of the competition
Since being established in 1976, we have a proud track record of innovation and support, so much so that many of our earliest customers are still with us. We pioneered accurate component counting by weight and our electronic weighing systems have been exported to Japan, Brazil and Europe for more than thirty years.
We developed our first computing system in 1979 and were the first to apply statistical process control (SPC) techniques to quantity control systems, to comply with EU Average Contents Regulations. We have now evolved into an in-house designer, developer and manufacturer of a uniquely comprehensive real-time information management system – the only one of its kind available worldwide.
