Announcing Our Exclusive Distribution Partnership with Pulmac

We are pleased to announce an exclusive distribution partnership with US-based fiber analysis specialist, Pulmac. Effective immediately, we will serve as the exclusive distributor for Pulmac instruments across the United States, Canada, and the European Economic Area (EEA). 

The agreement marks a strategic expansion of our capabilities within the pulp and paper industry. While our Technidyne portfolio has long been the industry standard for testing finished paper properties—such as brightness, strength, and formation—Pulmac’s technology allows us to move further “upstream” to evaluate raw fiber quality before it ever reaches the paper machine. 

Solving Quality Issues at the Source

For paper producers, discovering a quality defect at the end of the production line is an expensive problem. By integrating Pulmac’s specialized diagnostic tools—including the MasterScreen and Z-Span Tester—we provide mills with the early data required to detect contaminants and isolate fiber strength. This visibility allows customers to adjust wet-end chemistry, optimize their refining processes, and prevent costly web breaks and downtime before they occur. 

Executive Perspectives

“Our Technidyne brand has a proven legacy of helping customers validate the integrity of their finished paper,” said Andrew McCauley, CEO of Industrial Physics. “However, true quality control begins long before the paper is formed. This partnership allows us to move upstream into pulp testing, empowering our customers to make proactive, data-driven decisions that improve efficiency and reduce waste.”

Bob White, CEO of Pulmac, added: “This partnership gives Pulmac the opportunity to focus on innovating new products beyond our legacy instrumentation devices now to be sold through Industrial Physics. In particular, we are developing new data-in-depth analysis and consulting services to identify major cost savings to be achieved for paper mills (“DataSolve“) as well as new technologies that will reduce production costs while simultaneously improving paper quality.”
