Company

Our Vision
All professional people in a lab environment should be able to blindly rely on their equipment and be able to fully focus on their research or analysis.

Our Mission
Delivering high quality research and analysis equipment in innovative industry labs and ensuring carefree confidence by taking care of the instrument’s fitness, allowing the user to focus on the analysis.

Founded in 1987, in Temse (Belgium), Optimus Instruments kicked off by distributing Herzog and Huber equipment, which we still do today. Providing service on those instruments led to a new office in Rotterdam in 1998, closer to our Dutch customers.

2007 marked another expansion south, with the foundation of Optimus instruments France. It is also the same year in which European Lab Services, our servicepartner, saw the light and where they received the ISO 17025 accreditation.

Our sales activities extended in 2011, when we started supplying instruments and services for the chemical, pharmaceutical and bio-chemical industry. Later followed by bioreactors and bioprocess equipment.
Both Belgium and the Netherlands benefited from France’s experience in reactor systems, resulting in an exclusive Chemglass distributorship.

With a new generation Van Hoorick on board and new test scopes for validation of lab equipment in the Pharmaceutical sector, we are ready for another 35 years!
