Since it was founded in 1994, it has continued to grow as a company that provides complete solutions for the measurement and analysis of laboratory, processes and environment data. The company is celebrating two decades of corporate life under the theme of ‘knowledge without borders’, with ‘innovation and analytical knowledge’ at the heart of its history of industrial development.
Symtek specialises in providing the highest applied knowledge in material analysis for different sectors of the industry. It focuses specifically on elemental chemical analysis, mineralogical analysis for process and quality control and the research of materials.
The company places particular emphasis on research and development, helping to generate employment and making it a valuable ally in several industries, including cement, steel, oil, mining, precious metals and foundries.
Since its inception, Symtek has invested in the development of training courses and seminars, as well as in the commercialisation of products and comsumables. The group has helped to organise a range of events, such as a meeting on X-ray spectrometry for cement in Mexico, a seminar on spectrometry techniques in Venezuela, and the round-robin interlaboratory programme, among others.
