‘Export Champion’ Isotech celebrates four decades of innovation

20th January 2020

Local manufacturer of quality calibration systems celebrates 40 years in business this year.

Isotech was founded by John Tavener in 1980 with the single aim of supplying thermocouple reference units to the power industry.

Quickly recognising a gap in the market for effective temperature calibration equipment, John set about to design and build his own solutions from his small, purpose built laboratory.

With an excellent reputation for their products, performance and quality, they have successfully delivered and installed many complete laboratories across Europe, Asia and the Americas and boast an enviable client base including Panasonic and U.S. government agency NASA.

Proudly representing the Great British trade market, Isotech has received a number of accolades including the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2017 and in 2019 were awarded Export Champion for the third year running (Department for International Trade).

Isotech’s success and longevity can be attributed to a number of factors – John’s entrepreneurial mindset, a team of experts, ever-evolving products and the strong partnerships that have been forged over the years.

John Tavener (President) says “We are very proud of the contribution we have made to temperature metrology over the last 40 years and we are looking forward to what the 2020s will bring.”

As preparations for their celebrations are underway, don’t expect the pace to slow down anytime soon.

With an unsurpassed drive to continue to bring new innovations to market, Isotech will continue to invest in new product development and plans are well underway to extend into new factory space to support further growth.

Isotech provides solutions for all calibration needs, from primary laboratories wishing to maintain national standards, to field engineers calibrating industrial sensors on site.
