Lomo Senoamadi founded Bashumi Instruments & Control Services in 2003 to supply precision laboratory equipment and instruments to South African industry with a level of expertise, service, and local understanding that multinational suppliers were not providing.
More than 20 years on, BICS supports more than 70 laboratories. We supply the equipment and consumables they run on, calibrate and maintain the instruments they measure with, and design, build, and refurbish the facilities themselves, for clients across food and beverage, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, water and environmental, mining, and research. We work across 5+ countries, including South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana, and Zambia.
Calibration in 5 to 7 days, and a quote back within one business day. Twenty years of operational systems and standing procedures sit behind those numbers.
Traceable calibration certificates with as-found and as-left readings, uncertainty statements, and maintained asset registers. Every job leaves behind the paperwork your auditor will ask for.
Equipment, calibration, and the laboratory itself from a single accountable partner. Most clients run three suppliers for this and reconcile the gaps themselves.
Our average client relationship runs beyond seven years. We advise before you buy and we stay after delivery, which is why each subsequent order needs less explaining.
Describe your laboratory, the instruments you need calibrated, or the facility you are planning. Our team will recommend what fits and respond within one business day.
