About Us
Selectron was founded in 1975 by Jeannot Plourde and began as a manufacturers’ representative for various Montreal area manufacturers. Headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, most of our business was concentrated in the province of Quebec.
In 1996, the Select-Test division began its activities. Today, we are Canada’s largest provider of new and used test equipment and operate a 15,000 sq.ft. facility to inventory and manage the test equipment business unit. Select-Test boasts a very dynamic inventory of over 11,000 pcs of equipment shipping to more than 500 active customers across Canada, the U.S. and worldwide. We offer you access to our inventory, our reliable network and service partners to provide complete and total supportfor your equipment needs.
Recognizing a high demand for microscopes and the intricacies of these delicate instruments, in 2002 the Cygnex Microscopes division was established. Designed in Germany and manufactured in Asia, these systems provide excellent optics at an affordable price to hundreds of satisfied users worldwide.
In 2014, we will launch our Vibewerx vibration platforms and accelerometers. In 2010 we began developing this line of instruments to bring to market affordable vibration test solutions… Look for our product launch in the coming months!!
