About Haven

Haven Automation Ltd. was founded in 1965 and operated as an instrument service and contracting
company until its acquisition by the Wood Group of Scotland in 1978. Haven subsequently concentrated
on the design, development, manufacture and service of process calibration equipment and simulator
training systems. In 1990 Haven was the subject of the management buyout involving the present
Managing Director, Eric Jones. In 2003 the simulator training systems side of the business was sold
to L-3 Communications Corporation of the USA and is now part of their MPRI Ship Analytics Division.

The Company’s activities are now divided into two divisions:

Test Instruments (Products)
Repair and Calibration (Services)

Haven has successfully maintained a reputation for the technical excellence and reliability of its products.
These include calibrators for Pt-100, thermocouple simulation, temperature, pressure and electrical
signals and range from hand-held instruments to complete calibration workstations and custom-designed
workshops. Haven is supported by a network of agents/distributors worldwide.

Quality is integral to the Company’s successful business strategy and ISO9001 accreditation was awarded
in 1992. Haven’s commitment to staff training and development was also recognised in June 2003 with
receipt of the ‘Investors In People’ award.

The Company opened its first UKAS accredited laboratory for DC electrical measurement in 1990.
This was followed by pressure measurement, AC electrical measurement and in 1997 the first
UKAS temperature laboratory in Wales. The laboratories provide essential new product certification
and after sales service and support. In addition, Haven provides a repair and re-certification service for other manufacturer’s products and is a European Service Centre for Practical Instrument Electronics (PIE), USA,
Crystal Engineering, USA and Techne, Cambridge.
