Tamson founded in 1878

• P.M. Tamson bv founded in 1878 by Mrs. Tamson in the Hague, the Netherlands.

• Distribution of laboratory supplies initially.• From 1950’s also manufacturing Tamson thermostatic baths and

circulators.• In 1992 sold to Fisher Scientific USA.• Fisher sold assets of manufacturing of Tamson Instruments in August

1998 – Fisher kept sales of general laboratory supplies.• Assets were put in new company – Labovisco bv.• 2004 Labovisco is renamed in Tamson Instuments bv.• 2008 Moved to new building in Bleiswijk which is own property

Aug. 2011

Tamson focuses 100% on instruments

• Privately owned by a group of 2 shareholders.• Headquarters and manufacturing in Bleiswijk, the

Netherlands.• Engineering, final assembly, sales and marketing done by

the Tamson organization.• Basic manufacturing outsourced to third parties.

Results since 1998 have been good

• Since 1998 growth in turnover has been some 5..10% per year.

• More then 60 dealers and distributors around the world.• Product portfolio has grown significantly. First we have

added coolers and circulators. Now we are adding calibration baths and products for petrochemical market.

• Continuous intensive investments in research & development and product improvement.

• Supplier of OEM-units.
