Company

… more than 25 years ago, this motto was the motivation for the development of the first PC-controlled laboratory equipment and this ambition still defines our work.

IWS Messtechnik GmbH devotes its efforts to the development and production of measurement systems for material testing and quality assurance in road construction – be it test devices for the road laboratory or equipment for pavement condition surveying.

Our long-standing experience and the expertise of our staff  are the basis for our numerous new developments in the past, which were often incorporated into the technical guidelines (force ductility, profile measurement of the wheel tracking test, the lane tracking system for high speed measurement vehicles et al.)

During our successful work on several research projects for the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure we have proven our qualifications and our high demands in precision and measurement certainty.

Also in the future, the development and production of robust and accurately working measurement systems according the requests of our customers will be our permanent target. The optimization of the infrastructure is our major concern.

We are working with certificated quality management according DIN EN ISO 9001:2008.
