Today, 95 years ago, a few men began supplying instrumentation (manometers and dial thermometers) to the marine industry. Their company, then known as ‘De Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Instrumentenfabriek Observator N.V.’, is the ancestor of the current Observator Group. That is why we are celebrating our 95^th anniversary today. Without you – as a loyal partner – this would not have been possible. We appreciate your trust, and we look forward to celebrate our 100^th anniversary with you in 2024. This promises to be a special year, both for employees, suppliers and customers.
