This Is How We Are Different

If you are looking for an affordable alternative to Instron you have come to the right place

We Do Business Differently

While the big guys are set up to mass-produce cookie-cutter test machines on a 'one-size-fits-all' basis our business is set up to provide custom solutions that are made to order. That's just what we do. Our business model utilizes a modular design, that we like to call 'Smart Design,' which enables us to inexpensively build a machine to your exact specification. Without sacrificing quality!

We Give You the Flexibility to Buy Only What You Need

We help you configure your test system with the functionality and features you want, at a price you can afford. This industry-leading approach gives you the freedom of choice, the power to control your budget and the security for future growth.

We Keep Our Expenses Low and Pass the Savings on to You

Our number one priority is to provide quality solutions that are also budget-friendly. Being cheaper was not exactly our goal... it just kinda happened that way. As a privately owned business, we understand that money doesn't grow on trees and budgets can be tight. We make every business decision with that in mind. We don't spend a bunch of money on salesmen that go door to door trying to sell machines. We don't splurge on big expensive office buildings with cafeterias and fitness centers. And we don't spend a bunch of money on fancy sales materials or advertising.

 

Here are the top reasons leading organizations and universities around the world are choosing TestResources:
