Brand Introduction

In the early 1980's the development of its first Carbon and Sulfur Analyzer led to the creation of ELTRA. The objective to offer high quality products at affordable prices still remains the foundation of ELTRA's policy today.

Hundreds of satisfied customers worldwide are proof of the quality and reliability of Eltra analyzers.  With the creation of new levels of performance-to-price-ratios ELTRA's world market share has rapidly increased. The introduction of oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen analyzers allowed ELTRA to successfully enter new markets on a global level.
