With the [Beamex ecosystem](https://www.beamex.com/us/beamex-calibration-ecosystem/) we set the industry standard with our way of working, our expertise and innovative calibration technologies that provide accurate measurements, reliable data, and traceability. We offer a comprehensive range of calibration solutions that cover everything from field calibration to workshop calibration, calibration management, and services. Through our global reach, our products and services are available in over 90 countries. ## Our history In 1975, there were four calibration technicians – Eero, Krister, Veijo, and Nils-Erik. They could not find the kind of calibration equipment they wanted. “There has to be a better way” they thought. “Let’s develop calibrators that we want to use”. And so, with the idea of “a better way” – Beamex was born. Still today, our goal is to be your trusted partner for calibration excellence, providing expert service and calibration technology for a safer and less uncertain world.

Accurate measurement is the glue that holds our communities and societies together, and it affects us all. It gives us confidence that the medicine we take is safe, the water we drink is clean, and the food we eat can be trusted. The industries behind these vital elements of our everyday lives rely on accurate measurement to ensure the safety of their processes, to improve efficiency, and to minimize emissions and waste. ## Sustainable by design Sustainability is a core component of the Beamex design philosophy. We want our customers to continue using their Beamex products for many years, so they are designed to support the circular economy by being reliable, easily maintainable and repairable, compatible with a wide range of other plant equipment, and easily upgradeable. These factors ensure a long product lifecycle, reduce waste, and help to conserve natural resources.
