The enormous quality of our products and services, as well as earning the highest possible satisfaction from our customers, plays a decisive role in how we do business. At Bareiss, we have you covered for both measuring equipment and the corresponding calibration, all from a single source. As an accredited test center by the German Accreditation Body DAkkS (DIN EN ISO ǀ IEC 17025: 2018) for the measurement category of hardness, we undertake calibrations on all Shore and IRHD devices, within the scope of measuring equipment monitoring, and create the corresponding calibration certificates.

Becoming a world market leader is only possible when we have the best employees. To stand your ground in the global competition, you must invest in your own future.

It all started in 1954, with a targeted vision and a great idea. The company was founded in Upper Swabia, Germany, more precisely in the historic Herrengasse in Oberdischingen, the former court forge of the Malefizschenk. Our company founder Heinrich Bareiss developed his vision to produce mechanical hardness testers and that is how Bareiss Prüfgerätebau GmbH came into being.
A lot has happened since then. The company has gone through three expansions when it was handed over twice to the next generation. We established subsidiaries worldwide, hired, and trained employees. developed product innovations and invented patents. Today, as in the past, we develop, produce, and sell high-quality testing devices for hardness measurement on rubber, plastics, and flexible materials, for the pharmaceutical and food industries worldwide.
We are proud to say that in the last 6 decades, we have played a key role in shaping the history of elastomer testing and this achievement is in part the reason our name has worldwide recognition.
We are constantly striving for perfection with our customers best interest in mind. Our expansion of the years has brought us to a state of the art production facility , where we continue to look towards the future with a clear vision in mind.
