Instron® has been advancing materials testing since 1946, when two research scientists founded the company with a commitment to measurement accuracy and data integrity that remains at the core of everything we build today. Over eight decades, we have introduced some of the most significant innovations in the industry — from the first strain gauge load cell to all-electric dynamic test systems and video extensometry — driven by the engineering expertise of our people and a consistent focus on three principles: data integrity, operator safety, and protection of your investment.

Instron testing systems are recognized worldwide for accuracy, reliability, and long-term performance. Our participation in international standards committees — including ASTM and ISO — ensures our systems are always aligned with the latest test method requirements. And with a global network of factory-trained Field Service Engineers and a comprehensive service and calibration organization, every Instron system is backed by the support it needs throughout its working life.
