ABOUT
a flexible structure
passionate about customers.
About us
SISGEO is a leading designer and manufacturer of a wide selection of instruments
for use in the area of rock and soil measurement and analysis.
SISGEO instruments are supplied worldwide through a growing distribution network.
In the past several years, sales have been equally distributed between domestic and
international markets.
SISGEO was established in 1993 when the current shareholders acquired
SIS Geotecnica. Ever since, SISGEO has been dedicated to the development,
manufacturing and supply of high quality instruments in order to meet the demands
of civil engineering projects.
The link to SIS Geotecnica, founded in 1973, is very important as it is a major factor
in the success of SISGEO. We have the dynamic attitude of a young organization, as
well as the tradition and experience of a long established company.
Located in the industrial belt of Milan, SISGEO headquarters consists of a three-story
building with more than 1.200 square meters of laboratories, production facilities,
and a warehouse. The location also includes 600 square meters of offices for the
technical and R&D departments, as well as marketing and sales.
The headquarter of SISGEO also includes more than 1.200 square meters of open
area, parking facilities and an additional building of 160 square meters hosting a
workshop and production line for fiberglass rod extensometers.
Quality System
The core value of SISGEO is to provide our Customers with top quality products and
exceptional services, that meet or outperform the highest quality standards.
In 1997 (and following updates), SISGEO achieved ISO 9001 Certification, which is
the starting point of our continuous improvements and quality control programs.
Nowadays SISGEO is registered according to ISO 9001:2008 standard.
The SISGEO Quality System ensures full traceability of all our products.
Manufacturing Facilities
The SISGEO production department has exemplary tools and equipment for
assembling, building and calibrating instruments of the highest quality and reliability.
These include:
- four vibrating wire sensor assembly desks;
- a TIG welding;
- calibration desks for inclinometers;
- a unique under-vacuum system for saturating hydraulic cells;
- three climate chambers for environment temperature tests;
- semi-automatic tool for fibre glass rod extensometer assembling;
- load testing machine up to 3000 KN;
- two pressure vessels for leakage and waterproof tests;
- bi-components epoxy resin dispenser for sealing products.
A significant contribution to the growth of the company has been provided by our
team of hardware and software specialists, as all new machines and testing systems
are electronically controlled for the automatic generation of calibration certificates.
