The business is revolved around the sale, service and repair of used metrology equipment. The company supplies equipment for the precision measurement and comparison of physical quantities such as mass, length, time, force, speed, voltage and current.
This business was started by its owner in 1994 when he realised that there was a strong demand for high quality used metrology equipment. There is a widely held belief that the older equipment performs better and lasts longer than newer versions that are imported from abroad.
The company is Rolls Royce approved and supplies all forms of metrology including verniers, micrometers, thread measurers, height gauges, comparator gauges and clocks, calibration equipment, bore measurers, projectors, length measurers, surface measurers, angular measurers and screw gauges. All equipment is checked, tested and calibrated prior to dispatch.
