Meet The Team: USA

North America is a key market for James Heal. We recognize the importance of the work and innovation from the many specifiers and leaders in their field here, who are driving new product development around the world.

To reflect this we have a demo lab at our facilities in Sterling, VA as a base from which to support our customers in the region with their testing requirements. We continue to build on our strong presence in the US with access to regional testing expertise and support, and faster lead times on our instruments, test materials and calibration services.

Our aim is to build and maintain strong relationships with our customers in the USA and Canada, to provide easy access to applications and engineering expertise. This regional presence will also allow us to better understand your requirements, to make the service we provide more bespoke.  

Our team of experts are here to help with any advice or support you may need!

What does this mean for our customers?

We will now be supplying test materials locally, meaning faster shipments and the option for smaller orders.

We have a stock of our most popular test materials ready to be shipped from Sterling, reducing shipping costs and speeding up delivery times. This also means we can send smaller orders, as shipping costs are more cost effective. Buy online via our test materials store.

If you require a calibration visit with a UKAS certificate, we are the best option for providing that service.

There are many options for Service and Calibration in the market, but if you require your instruments calibrated to UKAS or ISO standards, James Heal engineers have decades of experience in this field.

Our UKAS accreditation ensures an in depth calibration of your instrument, to guarantee accurate an repeatable testing. Please speak to us or complete our contact form to arrange a visit from our expert engineers.

Localised support to build and maintain relationships.

We aim to continue to strengthen and build our relationships with our valued customers, with our US-based team available to support you with all your testing requirements.
