For over 50 years Elcometer has been a world leader, not only in the manufacture and supply of inspection equipment to the coatings industry, but also in the design and development of new products specifically to meet our customers’ requirements. As part of its ongoing expansion in 2003 Elcometer consolidated their world leading position with the acquisition of two of Europe’s premier high quality design and manufacturing organisations in the paint, coatings and concrete industries. These acquisitions place Elcometer as perhaps the largest manufacturer and supplier of inspection equipment to the markets we serve - allowing scale and scope for increased manufacturing and distribution efficiencies. With seven offices positioned in key markets around the world, Elcometer not only continues their tradition of quality and value, but also enhance their high level of technical support, customer service and product availability when and where you need it the most.
Why choose Elcometer? The philosophy of Elcometer since its inception in 1947 has always been to provide you with ‘best in class’ product design, product quality and service at a competitive price. By concentrating on these core values Elcometer has grown into a worldwide organisation with dedicated offices in seven countries and distribution outlets in more than 150 locations around the world.
Technical Capability – engrained in our history For more than 50 years Elcometer has been at the forefront of the Coating Inspection Industry. This involvement has also included presence on Standards Committees in many areas around the world. During this time many class-leading products have been designed and manufactured by Elcometer. With the introduction of the new range of Coating Physical Test equipment and the new ‘Protovale by Elcometer’ Concrete Inspection products Elcometer has taken a further step in meeting the total needs of the inspection marketplace. Elcometer commits major resources to Research and Development. With departments in both the UK and Belgian facilities, Elcometer are able and capable of exploring and exploiting new and exciting areas of product development. This culminates in the capability to offer products which exceed customer expectations. Elcometer has had an enviable reputation for innovation since 1947 when the world’s first mechanical coating thickness gauge was developed. This still holds true today and with recently released products such as the enhanced, simpler to use Elcometer 456 Coating Thickness Gauge and the new market-leading Elcometer 270 Pinhole Tester the reputation of Elcometer grows from strength to strength. Quality – a culture, not just about the products Elcometer’s commitment to quality is reflected in our ISO 9001 Quality and ISO 14001 Environmental certifications. However systems are only as good as the people who work with them and at Elcometer quality is a culture. The Company philosophy is to design quality into the product at the concept and development stage. This includes an environmental assessment of everything that Elcometer does – right down to this catalogue. This culture ensures that the product reaching the customer maintains the reputation that Elcometer has worked for so long to achieve. With facilities working to Kanban and Just in Time (JIT) methodology Elcometer’s manufacturing can also justifiably claim to be best in class.

By constantly striving for optimised product design, lower costs, more efficient manufacturing and economical distribution, Elcometer’s strategy is to remain the industry benchmark. It is vital to the market that value for money is seen to be competitive.
