Tamson founded in 1878
P.M. Tamson bv founded in 1878 by Mrs. Tamson in the Hague, the Netherlands.
Distribution of laboratory supplies initially.
From 1950’s also manufacturing Tamson thermostatic baths and circulators.
In 1992 sold to Fisher Scientific USA.
Fisher sold assets of manufacturing of Tamson Instruments in August 1998 – Fisher kept sales of general laboratory supplies.
Assets were put in new company – Labovisco bv.
2004 Labovisco is renamed in Tamson Instuments bv.
2008 Moved to new building in Bleiswijk which is own property 3
