What we do

Laboratories in Ethiopia shouldn’t have to choose between world-class instruments and dependable local support. We bridge that gap — bringing genuine, warranty-backed equipment from leading global manufacturers, and backing it with engineers, training and after-sales service on the ground.

Whether you’re equipping a new university lab, meeting a regulatory testing requirement, or scaling up quality control on a production line, we help you specify the right instrument, install it properly and keep it running.

Why work with us

Buying an instrument is easy. Keeping it accurate, supported and productive for years is what makes us a partner rather than a supplier.

Genuine equipment

Authorised supply of instruments from world-leading manufacturers — never grey-market, always warranty-backed.

Installation & training

We don't just deliver a box. Our engineers install, commission and train your team so the instrument earns its keep from day one.

Local after-sales support

Servicing, spare parts, consumables and method support — all handled locally in Addis Ababa, not a continent away.

Bid & specification support

We help laboratories and procurement teams write accurate tender specifications and match them to the right equipment.
