The history of Shimadzu began with the launch of a hot air balloon into the sky.
Our company founder, Genzo Shimadzu Senior, had no prior knowledge or experience with hot air balloons, but he challenged himself to develop one, and he succeeded magnificently.
His curiosity and pioneering spirit continue to guide us to this day.
In this sense, we would like to awaken your scientific curiosity on September 30!
Focus on: Material Testing
We are delighted to welcome Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Frank Walther, Technical University of Dortmund, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, to Shimadzu’s 150th anniversary celebrations!
We are already looking forward to his presentation:
“Fast and efficient – Safe components through ultrasound and high speed”
Did you know?
Shimadzu has been manufacturing testing machines for material analysis for more than 100 years.
👉Curious?
This is what our first testing machines looked like.
