Company News –
James Instruments Inc. is pleased to announce the addition of Mr. Gonzalo Cetrangolo to the position of International Sales Manager. Mr. Cetrangolo received his Master of Science in Civil Engineering from The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He was the 2007 award winner of the James/ACI Scholarship for best paper of Non-Destructive Testing selected by the ACI 228 committee. He also has extensive experience in the construction industry, particularly Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation of Structures.

Company History –
James Instruments began in 1968 by supplying the now classic R-Meter for the location of rebar. The company has steadily expanded the product line as technology in the Non-Destructive Testing field has developed. In 1989, the company took over Windsor Systems and expanded on this line of resistance to penetration devices. James Instruments introduced the V-Meter MK II in 1993 as the first Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity device to electronically store and calculate data. In 1994, the company introduced the Gecor 6, the first commercially available corrosion rate system to the
world wide testing community. The corrosion line of products was added and expanded in 1998. 2004 brought the Trident, the first hand held microwave moisture meter for sand & aggregates. We are excited to say that we have expanded on this line in the current catalog.

As time has passed, NDT has become not just the field we are committed to but a part of our quality policy: No Defects, Development of New Technology and Process, and Timely delivery of our products and support. Following this principle we not only manufacture high quality equipment but back it with high quality customer service and support. We regularly
train customer personnel as well as our global sales network, at our facility in Chicago. James also sponsors the ACI scholarship for Non-Destructive Testing. This scholarship is provided as the best paper on non-destructive testing. This will help ensure the continued advances in the Non-Destructive Testing field. Finally, our highly trained technicians insure the quality of our systems again and again. This has allowed James Instruments
to become known world wide as the leader in Non-Destructive Testing systems for construction and coarse grained materials
