The after-sales care of equipment is as important as the initial purchase. While instruments degrade & start drifting as cumulative usage increases & environmental conditions change, the key to enhance their lifespan depends on refurbishing & repairs. Unfortunately, most of the calibration providers do not provide repairing services, and that leaves the owner to go for replacement of equipment, which proves expensive. Identifying this market gap, and enabling customers to elude the unnecessary need for buying new equipment, Pune-based S M Engineers introduced repairing services along with quality test verification facility, in modern times referred as calibration services, for the first time in India in 1985 when even ISO-9000 did not exist in India.

A three-decade-old company, S M Engineers leverages its expertise to provide world-class repair services to help customers lower their total cost of ownership, avoid unplanned maintenance expenses, and improve up time. The company offers the unique facility of repairing old/ Non-functioning instruments like Vernier Calipers, Micrometers, Dials, Torque Wrenches, Height Gauges & Calibration Services for Plug, Snap

& Ring Gauges,all types of Thread Gauges, Lux Meter, Vibration, and Sound & Noise Level Meters, and Fluid Viscosity cups.

"Because of our diversified calibration activities in different fields, we are a one window service to the customer"
