Our gas detection history
We have a long history in gas detection. John Langslow, our gas detection manager, has been working with Industrial Scientific equipment for over 20 years.

We genuinely care about your safety, and our expertise is second to none – we know what we’re talking about!
As well as being highly knowledgeable, our people are trustworthy and reliable. An ethical approach is vital when safety is at stake and it’s a core value for us.
2 things that set us apart

- Our major focus is on NZ projects. This manifests itself in our heavy investment in spare parts and skilled technicians to support our customer base. We’re not a retail chain just trying to sell stuff. In short, we care.
