VSI "on the move" - Autumn 2018

In 2016 we moved to a new location of featuring 600m2 workshop space for an even larger set of production equipments including several 3D printers technologies and a portal milling machine - enhancing our in-house capacities and thus delivery time. However, we are currently preparing to relocate our offices and workspace in autumn 2018 to a new larger location! We will update you on changes in our postal and delivery address as soon as relevant. 

Count us out! Vienna Scientific Instruments does not develop, build or supply equipment which will be used in consumptive experimentation on vertebrates.
