History

“The pleasure of working together”

Giorgio Bormac S.R.L.

The Group:

Technicians, salespeople, administrative staff, and warehouse workers are continuously involved in training courses to improve the quality of our work and are an active part of the company's strategic decisions.

The Products:

A continuous search of the global scientific instrumentation market selects and subjects all new products to rigorous quality tests before they are included in the sales program. If the declared specifications are not suitable for the Italian market, modifications are requested and discussed with the manufacturer so that every product can respect the quality guaranteed by Giorgio Bormac.

The pleasure of working together

Giorgio Bormac was founded in Carpi, in the heart of the Province of Modena, with the aim of selecting and marketing high quality scientific equipment throughout the country, through a network of national territorial distributors.
The owners, Giorgio and Rosanna, try to combine family values and the search for a sincere relationship with customers. The company name contains the initials of all the members of the family. From these premises comes the slogan: "The pleasure of working together".

2000

First Data Logger

Our Catalog expands thanks to new lines of instruments: data loggers and photometers, and the company begins to expand: technical, administrative and agents spread throughout the territory become part of the "Bormac family".

2001
2001

The XS Instruments brand is born: a selection of lesser-known brands products in Europe, but which pass intense technical and quality tests, guaranteeing the quality of which Giorgio Bormac is the representative.

2006

The great experience of the historic centrifuge manufacturer REMI, combined with Giorgio Bormac's research, made it possible to create a line of centrifuges suited to the European market, in terms of performance and aesthetics.

Machines dedicated to research laboratories and industry: reliable, safe and simple to use.

Centrifuges without frills.

The project is in continuous evolution and still today, after several years of activity, we keep offering new models and improving the existing ones.

In addition to centrifuges, we offer a full range of accessories to meet every type of need.

Kindergarten "I Ranocchi"

To help employees’ kids, the company nursery "I Ranocchi" is opened. The peacefulness that this new reality develops is our strong point that enriches us every day.

2011

The centrifuge family expands with the addition of the R8D and R10-M laboratory models. More and more laboratories rely on the brand distributed by Giorgio Bormac. The new models embrace the functional and aesthetic needs of our market, as well as being reliable and economical.

The ARGOLAB brand is born, a range of instruments that includes ovens, incubators, magnetical stirres, climatic chambers, ultrasonic baths, thermostatic baths.

We dedicated it to Argo, our half-breed Labrador, who cheers up our days with his strength and faithfulness.

The ARGOLAB brand wants to guarantee quality and trustability of our products.



2013

For the first time, Giorgio Bormac develops its own line of portable instruments for pH and conductivity analysis, which it will launch under the XS instruments brand, in collaboration with an important Chinese manufacturer. Given the constant and growing increase in sales, it becomes necessary to expand, so we move to the new headquarters, where we still continue our activity today.

This year also marks the start of the tradition of the Bormac Days, which would be repeated consistently in the following years given its success.

It is a day dedicated to engaging with our Italian resellers, to compare notes, improve and present our new products. And of course we take the opportunity to sit down at the table with a smile, in front of a good local salami, a couple of flakes of Parmigiano Reggiano and a glass of Lambrusco. In addition to the Bormac Days, we also inaugurate the Partner meetings, the same concept as the Bormac Days but with foreign partners.

2013
2014

The ONDA spectrophotometer family is born. The XS instruments family expands with the arrival of 4 portable thermometer models, and under the XS green line family we present a full range of pH and conductivity buffer and standard solutions with N.I.S.T. traceability.

In March, Penny also arrives, a labrador mongrel who joins Argo's company to brighten up our days.

In April, for the first time, we take part in the international Analytica trade fair in Munich, with the chance to show the world our XS, Argolab and Onda lines, achieving satisfying success. And thanks to the numerous contacts obtained, our experience in foreign markets begins: supported by some European partners, and beyond, we start exporting our instruments all over the world.

2015

The XS sensor brand is born, the first line of electrodes designed by Giorgio Bormac and produced in Switzerland according to our directives.XS instruments is enriched with a whole new line of benchtop instruments for pH and conductivity and a new line of testers, instruments developed internally.

Now that we have control of the entire measurement chain (instrument - sensor - buffer solutions) we can guarantee even better performances, and work on the innovation of our products.

2016
2016

We are trying to win markets that are still unexplored for us, by adding a line of scales and one of ultrasonic baths to our catalog.

XS Balance includes analytical, technical and industrial balances that are economical but reliable. Argolab AU and DU are analog and digital ultrasonic baths, from 3 L to 45 L, very powerful and very useful for cleaning.

Thanks to the close relationship of trust with the manufacturer REMI, also due to the important commercial results obtained, we have the opportunity to design new line of centrifuges for our markets.We present NEYA, a word that in Hindi means "innovation - novelty".

"Passion changes everything"

2017

The GB turning point begins: after years of pure consultancy and resale, the MADE IN ITALY project starts. By involving local companies and suppliers, we move the production of electrochemical instrumentation to Italy, more precisely to Emilia. A zero-km production. This allows us to manage stock availability much better, constantly guaranteeing prompt delivery and unbeatable prices. We can also focus on research and product development based on the feedback that all of you resellers / customers provide.

We go further and patent DHS technology: intelligent pH electrodes able to store the calibration. The peculiarity is that, when connected to an XS DHS instrument, they achieve maximum performance while remaining compatible with all the pH meters on the market.
