Our Expertise
GIS was founded by plastics engineers with over 20 years of experience in metrology & plastics testing. From the design and manufacture of testing equipment such as HDT/Vicat testers, melt flow indexers and impact testers, to the testing, service and calibration of all types of physical testing and analytical instruments, GIS has the knowledge, skills and experience to help keep your plastics testing equipment in optimal performance to ensure your laboratory continues to produce accurate and reliable results.
GIS service engineers offer a unique set of skills when it comes to the servicing and calibration of plastics testing instruments. Not only do we have the technical know-how to calibrate, service and repair your instruments, but we also have a deep understanding of how the various parameters affect your testing results, and regularly assist labs in troubleshooting SPC/SQC deviations, questionable or unsatisfactory proficiency testing or round-robin results.
