Background

Our history can be traced back to 1945 and the formation of a Cape Town based family business; Laboratory & Scientific Equipment Company (Pty) Ltd. Since then, the company has gone from strength to strength and is now positioned as South Africa’s leading provider of laboratory and scientific equipment. Lasec Export focuses on the export market, while Lasec SA is the sole supplier and route to market for many international products in South Africa.

We have particularly strong industry experience and focus in the following segments: Agriculture, Biotechnology, Chemical, Educational, Food & Beverage, Medical, Mining, Pharmaceutical, Pathology and Tertiary & Research. In 2004, our structure and company systems were evaluated and recorded as being compliant with the strict controls and requirements of the ISO 9001:2000 standard.

Core Values

We are driven by a set of guiding principles that define and inform our daily activities:

• Integrity
• Excellence
• Teamwork
• Professionalism

Full Solution Provider

Lasec SA takes pride in its position as a partner to clients, assisting them in achieving optimal precision, performance and results.

We are represented by a dynamic and knowledgeable sales force with regional offices in five centres nationally. They are backed up by product specialists with extensive laboratory experience coupled with graduate or post-graduate diplomas or degrees in the sciences, who are able to offer a high level of technical and after-sales support.  In addition, the ability to repair, maintain and calibrate our laboratory instrumentation is a key aspect of our customer care policy, and we accordingly offer a range of service and repair options.

The infrastructure of our national group of companies includes extensive warehousing facilities in both Cape Town and Durban, combined with a national logistics/supply chain capability. These facilities have recently been expanded in line with growth in demand and volumes.

The Way Forward

Marking our confident outlook on the future, we have recently undertaken an overhaul of our branding to reflect our contemporary, professional and dynamic stance. As our 70th year of existence draws near, we are energised to continue expanding and servicing our customer base.
