Quality management
As of June 2000 we have obtained a quality approval certifica-
tion for service, products and organisational processes accord-
ing to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008. This recognised Quality Manage-
ment System has since lent us official support for our strategic
commitment to innovation, product improvement and cus-
tomer orientation. In addition to this we also continue to fulfil
all of the quality standards associated with the introduction of
the Worlddidac Quality Charter initiated in September 2004.
Group started in 2000 with the preparations for intro
ducing an extensive range of Physics apparatus. It was to
encompass equipment suitable for early Secondary School
studies ranging up to University level. By the following
year, the range was already in place for its launch and in
the winter of 2001/2002 the first 3B Scientific® Physics
Catalogue appeared. Even then it covered 144 pages.
From day one the company has been marketing products
of its own manufacture, but the physics section took a
major step forward in 2004 with the takeover of ELWE
Didactic and another in 2005 with the purchase of
TELTRON. Both Brands were already well-established with
good reputations in the Educational Equipment market
across the globe as outstanding product ranges, backed
by decades of experience.
ELWE Didactic had its roots in a company called ELWE
Lehrsysteme, which had already extended its commercial
foothold in the pure sciences by taking over Kröncke in
1987, as well NEVA and Simeto in 1992. In 1995 ELWE
Lehrgerätebau Klingenthal (formerly Simeto), which is now
known as ELWE Didactic, took over the development, man
ufacturing and sales of teaching equipment for physics.
TELTRON was founded in 1963 and rapidly gained a world
wide name for its development of highly evacuated cath
ode ray tubes and a wide range of teaching equipment for
the areas of atomic and nuclear physics.
