About J&W Instruments
J&W Instruments, Inc. was founded in 1972, initially specializing in field service for the process industries. As its offering expanded, the need to stock components, assemblies, and entire controls for its service base was evident. J&W added field sales representatives to increase the movement of its stocked inventory. As J&W evolved into a sales and service organization, some light manufacturing and in-house repair/assembly became necessary to meet the needs of their customer base. Presently, J&W manufactures data loggers and thermocouple assemblies, fabricates panels and handles control valve assemblies and testing. J&W Instruments became ISO 9002 registered in 1997 and is now accredited by A2LA in accordance with the recognized Standard ISO17025 in the field of calibration.
