Wirsam Scientific was established in 1968 by Mr. Peter Wirsam. Throughout its proud history Wirsam has entrenched itself as one of the continents leading suppliers of laboratory instrumentation. The company is divided into Microscopy, Analytical, Material Testing, Petrochemical and General Laboratory Instrumentation divisions. To complement the holistic product range, Wirsam has fully equipped workshops providing complete sales and service capabilities via the head office (Johannesburg) and across South Africa's major business centres (Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and Vanderbijlpark). Wirsam's success comes from an excellent relationship with its principal suppliers who are all world leading manufacturers within their sectors. The company has over the years gained these manufacturers confidence and respect, thereby allowing Wirsam to trade locally as an extension of their international network. Wirsam strives to provide the discipline and stability of a large corporation, combined with the personal touch and responsiveness of a small enterprise. This is achieved by the quality of the company's employees. Wirsam aims to employ motivated and dedicated individuals who appreciate that only service with distinction will keep the organisation strides ahead.
