For the specifying engineer

You are not betting on a reseller. You are buying a continent-side engineering organization with a 28-year track record on the same product line.

01

Same firm. Same family. 28 years.

MDS has held Schleich's North American mandate since the late 1990s. Hamilton family, two principals on staff, no flip risk.

02

Continent-side parts inventory.

Critical spares warehoused in North America. No transatlantic shipping on the critical path of a production-line outage.

03

One calibration chain.

NIST-traceable calibration performed in-house, with reference standards aligned to Schleich factory protocols. Certificate-on-file annual cycles.

04

Two named principals answer the phone.

John Wilson on technical, Jack Hamilton on commercial. No CRM queue, no junior gatekeeper. Direct line, named senior.

The Partnership

Two family-owned firms. One product line. No intermediaries.

Schleich GmbH has built motor and transformer test instruments in Hemer, Germany since 1959. The surge comparison waveform conventions now cited in IEC and IEEE standards originated in Schleich's labs.

MDS is Schleich's only authorized voice on the North American continent. Every tester sold, serviced, and calibrated from Panama to Alaska routes through one accountable distributor.
