Since 1979, NEURTEK has supported laboratories, manufacturers and industries in their quality control processes. For over 45 years, we have worked alongside companies in sectors as diverse as the automotive, aerospace, electronics, paints and coatings, chemical, pharmaceutical, construction and food industries, as well as universities and technology centres.
Throughout this journey, we have pursued two main activities: on the one hand, the distribution of equipment from leading international manufacturers; and on the other, the design and manufacture of our own instruments for quality control testing.
It was precisely this combination of experience that gave rise to NK by NEURTEK.
The birth of NK: a distinct identity for our manufacturing
For decades, at NEURTEK we have been developing and manufacturing instruments for quality control testing in laboratories and industry. This equipment has evolved in line with market needs, incorporating continuous improvements based on our technical expertise and knowledge of testing processes.
In 2025, we took a further step forward with the creation of NK by NEURTEK, a brand that brings together and identifies all the equipment designed and manufactured by NEURTEK under its own identity.
NK was created to highlight our capacity for development, manufacturing and innovation, whilst maintaining the same commitment to quality, reliability and regulatory compliance that has characterised us since 1979.
Much more than a brand: the natural evolution of accumulated experience
NK is not a new project, but rather the evolution of knowledge accumulated over more than four decades of working alongside real users.
Every piece of NK equipment is the result of direct contact with:
- Quality control laboratories.
- Paint and coating manufacturers.
- Technology centres.
- Universities.
- R&D departments.
- Industrial companies across a range of sectors.
This close connection has enabled us to understand the day-to-day challenges faced by professionals who carry out physical testing, environmental measurements and quality control.
That is why every NK development seeks to meet real market needs, not just technical specifications.
Specialists in paints and coatings
Although our equipment is used across numerous industrial sectors, NK’s DNA is deeply rooted in the world of paints and coatings.
For decades, we have worked with manufacturers, laboratories and applicators who need to assess critical properties such as:
- Viscosity.
- Gloss.
- Adhesion.
- Physical and mechanical strength.
- Corrosion.
- Film thickness.
- Environmental conditions.
- Durability of coatings.
This specialisation enables us to gain an in-depth understanding of the testing processes and the standards governing the industry.
We do not simply design equipment to measure parameters; we develop tools designed to help professionals make reliable decisions based on objective data.
What NK stands for
All NK developments share a common philosophy based on four fundamental pillars.
- Robustness
NK equipment is designed to operate in demanding environments, both in the laboratory and in production.
Long-term reliability, measurement stability and resistance to continuous use are among the criteria that guide every development.
- Practical innovation
We believe that innovation must bring real value to the user.
That is why we seek solutions that make day-to-day work easier, improve the repeatability of tests and simplify the process of obtaining reliable results.
- Regulatory compliance
Tests and quality controls must comply with internationally recognised standards.
Our equipment is developed in accordance with the main ISO and ASTM standards, as well as other standards used by laboratories and industries worldwide.
- Close collaboration with users
We design our instruments by listening to those who use them.
The experience we have gained working alongside technicians, quality managers and researchers is an essential part of the development process.
- Locally developed design and manufacturing
One of the defining features of NK is that the equipment is designed in-house by NEURTEK’s technical team.
This direct control over development enables us to:
- Adapt quickly to market needs.
- Continuously improve our products.
- Maintain high quality standards.
- Ensure closer contact with the end user.
Local manufacturing also enables us to oversee every stage of the process and ensure the consistency of our equipment.
Backed by an ENAC ISO 17025-accredited laboratory
NK’s expertise is not limited to the design and manufacture of instruments.
NEURTEK has a laboratory accredited by ENAC to the ISO 17025 standard in various technical areas, including:
1.- Temperature and humidity
Calibration and verification of equipment used for environmental control and the monitoring of test conditions.
2.- Optics
Calibration and evaluation of instruments relating to:
- Colour.
- Luminance.
- Illumination.
3.- Viscosity
Verification and calibration of instruments used for rheological control and the characterisation of liquid products.
This experience provides in-depth knowledge of the metrological and quality requirements that equipment used in professional environments must meet.
Equipment developed to meet real-world needs
The NK range includes instruments designed for various areas of testing and quality control. These include:
- Viscosity and rheometry equipment.
- Laboratory applicators.
- Adhesion testing instruments.
- Gloss measurement equipment.
- Corrosion testing systems.
- Environmental monitoring equipment.
- Equipment for coating characterisation.
They all share the same philosophy: to deliver reliable, repeatable results that meet the demands of modern laboratories.
NK by NEURTEK: a brand built on experience
The creation of NK by NEURTEK does not mark the beginning of a new chapter, but rather the evolution of a journey that began in 1979. Today, that legacy is in the hands of the second generation at the helm of NEURTEK, who have taken on the challenge of continuing to build upon a solid foundation: the technical expertise, customer focus and commitment to quality that have defined the company since its inception.
Over 45 years of working with laboratories, technology centres and industries have enabled us to understand the real challenges of quality control and to transform that knowledge into reliable, robust testing solutions that meet market demands.
That is NK’s purpose: to turn experience into instruments that help measure better, test better and make better decisions.
