This year's K Show promises to be the best yet for materials testing specialist Tinius Olsen, the merged identity of the former Housfield Test Equipment with its US parent
The drawing together in January 2004 of UK-based Hounsfield Test Equipment and its US parent, Tinius Olsen, is already having considerable benefits for company and customers alike, says UK sales manager Steve Taylor.
This is demonstrated by the fact that at this year's K Show, Tinius Olsen will be exhibiting the complete range of testing equipment needed for the plastics industry.
"Our customers have had to work smarter to stay in competition," says Taylor.
"And that includes reducing costs by using just one supplier for all their testing equipment, calibration and servicing needs".
Tinius Olsen's display will include H25KT and H5KS materials testing machines, a 500L laser extensometer and 100S contacting extensometer, a model 503 Charpy and Izod impact tester, specimen notchers for impact samples, the MP600 melt flow indexer and a model 603 deflection temperature and Vicat tester.
