PID Eng&Tech experiences continuous growth and strives to expand its product line through various research projects and research investments. PID Eng&Tech in collaboration with Catalysis and Petroleochemestry Institute (CSIC, Spain) has been working in new investigation lines and in the development and improvements of the products. This investment has the following objectives:

LEADERSHIP: development of devices and instruments that solve the problems inherent in microscale (components of limited dimensions, small volumes or quantities of matter, etc.). PID is a World leader in microscale systems.

INNOVATION: Control systems development capable of manage the variables related to the micro-process, allowing the stability and safety of the process in addition to automating the operation of the plant. Moreover, PID takes part in numerous technological programs and projects.

QUALITY and SECURITY: Analysis of risks that make necessary the incorporation of devices that guarantees the safety in all the phases of the process. PID has certification ISO 9001 and ISO 14000 that is the result of fulfilment of all the instructions that are applicable to its products. In addition, with all equipment PID supplies the Declaration of Conformity that is demanded by the European Institutions.
