Launched in the year 2003 in the month of April, what started as a small organization with 23 people, is now grown to a company with 135 employees, and revenue in excess of Rs 100 crore. Today it has branch offices in nine locations and satellite operations in various cities in order to reach customers nationwide.
In the last 10 years, the company has achieved few milestones. Adding feather to its cap is the Pipette Calibration Centre in Chennai which received ISO 17025:2005 accreditation from National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL). To cater to the needs of customers at their doorstep, the company has launched Pipette Calibration on Call (PCoC), a mobile pipette calibration facility.
