The Leading Event in Materials Testing

Join us this October at Instron’s Open House in Norwood, MA, a complimentary, two-day event that delivers the same immersive experience on both days - so feel free to attend whichever day works best for you. You’ll gain behind‑the‑scenes access to our applications laboratory and manufacturing facility, engage in six engaging educational sessions led by our application engineers, product managers, and support specialists, and enjoy hands-on software training. Tour our calibration lab, home to the largest commercial deadweight test stand in North America - a powerful force calibration system with a 130,000 lbf capacity. This no-cost event offers the perfect opportunity to network with peers, connect directly with Instron experts across engineering, sales, and service teams, and get your toughest questions answered. Space is limited each day, so be sure to RSVP early to reserve your spot.
