SIMCO Electronics was formed in 1962 with a dedication to customer service, technical superiority, quality of work and fast service. Calibration and repair of precision measurement and test equipment is our primary business. SIMCO is owned by present and past employees and their families, resulting in a Company-wide commitment to providing the best available calibration and repair services at the best price value. SIMCO operates twenty-four hours a day, five days a week, maximizing our ability to respond to customers quickly. CUSTOMER service is enhanced through the use of SIMCO's integrated software package which uses a relational database for speed and ease of access to data. Using SIMCO's Dial-In Program, customers can access information on their account as well.

SIMCO's calibration and repair capabilities for measuring and test equipment include virtually all types of electronic, electrical, dimensional, mechanical, physical and radiation parameters. Equipment types serviced range from simple analog devices to state-of-the-art microprocessor-managed instruments. SIMCO processes over 300,000 instruments per year. Calibrations performed are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and conform to the requirements of MIL-STD-45662A, ANSI/NCSL Z540-1, and ISO 9002.
