Beamex - http://www.beamex.com
Beamex was established in 1975 by instrument technicians Eero, Krister, Veijo and Nils-Erik out of frustration to the then existing process calibrators. “Let’s develop calibrators that better serve users’ needs,” they thought. So the idea of “a better way to calibrate” was born.
One of the world's leading providers of calibration solutions. Beamex develops, manufactures and markets high-quality calibration equipment, software, systems and services for the calibration and maintenance of process instruments.
Our business revolves around everything “calibration”. Since technology continues to rapidly progress, companies need to be more efficient with less resources. At the same time, new regulations put constant pressure on manufacturing operations to maintain a high level of plant safety and product quality. With these in mind, we are here to help our customers to find a better way.
With more than 12000 customers, worldwide, from a wide range of industries, such as aviation, contractor engineering, food and beverage, manufacturing, marine, metal, nuclear, oil and gas, petrochemical and chemical, pharmaceutical and power and energy, Beamex has been involved in hundreds of calibration system implementation projects, so we don’t just provide the tools for calibration, we help companies evaluate their current calibration processes and assist them in implementing new ones.
When asked about where we are going, the answer is very clear across the whole organization: Our focus is to use technical insight to develop products and services that improve our customers’ calibration processes. Whether it is the user experience from a single product or the way that all our products and services interrelate to each other and other systems, it’s all about providing a better process for performing and managing calibrations.
Beamex Calibration Solutions, Ltd., in Canada, is the newest fully owned subsidiary in the Beamex Group of Companies. Our goal is to continue to build stronger relationships with our existing Beamex customers in Canada, whilst establishing a new presence and strengthening our brand awareness.
