Who we are ?
Welcome to Industron and we are very glad you are here!
Industron promotes research and development to offer new high value to customers in scientific instrumentation with cutting edge technology. We are a dedicated team of scientist and engineers with world class expertise in materials science and engineering, embedded control system hardware and software, analytical instrument development, sensors and actuators, and precision engineering design.
Industron Nanotechnology, formerly known as Hysitron Nanotechnology India was founded in 2011 by Dr. S A Syed Asif, Director of R&D, Hysitron and Thomas Wyrobek, CEO of Hysitron Inc. as the R&D center for Hysitron Inc. in India. Since its inception, Industron has been actively involved in Research and Development activities in India through collaborations with premier institutions such as IISc and IIT’s. Along the way, many cutting edge technology and products have been developed by Industron team, such as BioIndenter which received prestigious R&D 100 award in USA (2014) and NanoGuru, a desktop nanomechanical test instrument for testing nanoscale mechanical properties of materials. Our R&D division has been recognized by Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Govt. of India.
What we do ?
Our customers are the scientists and engineers in academia and industry. Customer satisfaction and superior customer service is one of the pillars of our company. We proactively engage with our customers on a day to day basis and meet them regularly either online or onsite as well as through regular workshops and conferences. Our flagship biennial conference workshop Nanoyantrika is one such example. We undertake R&D consultancy on structure property correlation, failure analysis and design of engineering materials. We have a world class, most advanced laboratory for materials testing at micro and nanoscale with experts at your service. We also undertake, advanced scientific instrument development, embedded control hardware and software development and precision engineering design.
Our distinct core competencies are
- Smart product design with integrated electronics and precision mechanical design at the leading edge for transducers, sensors and actuators.
- Promote knowledge in the field of mechanical properties at the nanoscale.
- Identifying markets that utilize or need mechanical property testing at nano and microscale.
- Pioneers of in-situ and operando materials characterization.
- Willing to accept calculated risks.
Along with R&D, activities we also bring products to you, from the world leader in nanotechnology- Bruker Nano Surfaces. We are the Indian distributor for Bruker Hysitron Nanoindentation system, AFM, Bio AFM and Tribometer.
Our dedicated, proactive customer service rewarded us with our awesome customers. Please enjoy going through our website and if you need any clarification, please contact our team.
Thanks again for stopping by Industron.
