Labomat Essor

Labomat Essor is a French distributor of scientific instruments and testing equipment for industrial laboratories, with a shop in Saint-Denis near Paris.

The company has worked for nearly 30 years in the distribution of technical instruments for quality control and production. Its products come from major international makers, and it works with them to keep its team trained. Its shop is in Saint-Denis, and its website is offered in French, German, Dutch, English, Italian, Arabic and Spanish.

The catalogue covers many kinds of measurement. For colour, it sells liquid colorimeters, light cabinets, pocket and portable spectrocolorimeters, bench-top models, non-contact models and multi-angle models. For gloss, it sells gloss meters, orange peel and image clarity meters, opacity meters and haze meters. It also has viscosity and rheology tools, including Brookfield viscometers and rheometers, as well as texture, mixing and dispersion equipment.

Other lines include film applicators, ageing and light-fastness chambers such as UV and xenon units, climatic chambers and ovens, and corrosion test chambers with salt spray. The company also supplies roughness, surface cleanliness and coating thickness gauges. Mechanical test tools cover adhesion, bending, impact, scratch, abrasion and hardness.

A separate HangOn range supplies hooks, suspension systems and masking products for coating lines.

The company offers more than equipment. Its technical advisers and trainers help customers choose the right instrument for their work. It can give product demonstrations and training at the customer's site. An intervention team can work on site or in a workshop. The team covers all of France, nearby countries and international customers. It also checks calibration, and carries out repair and maintenance on instruments such as spectrocolorimeters, rheometers, salt spray chambers, hardness testers, thickness gauges and thermo-hygrometers.

Sales contacts are split by region. They cover northern France, Belgium and Luxembourg, the Paris area, central-east, south-east, south-west and north-west France, and Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.
