About Us

History

Cape Instrument Services cc was formed in 1989 and many of the original staff are still employed.  It was formed from a combination of two businesses Cape Gauge (Pty) Ltd and Instrument Services.

Instrument Services concentrated on the repairs and calibration of marine and industrial instruments and was very involved with shipping and naval repairs, trading for about eight years. Cape Gauge Instrumentation was mainly involved in the manufacture of pressure and temperature gauges and had been trading for four years. Pressure and temperature instruments are made under the name Capegauge and electronic instruments under CIS Electronics.

An electronics division was added in 1994 to cater for the ever increasing demand for electronics repairs and specialised instruments in the temperature and humidity field were developed with a limited range of instrumentation not readily available.  A larger product range was added almost every year
