The pleasure of working together
Giorgio Bormac was founded in Carpi, in the heart of the Province of Modena, with the aim of selecting and marketing high quality scientific equipment throughout the country, through a network of national territorial distributors.
The owners, Giorgio and Rosanna, try to combine family values and the search for a sincere relationship with customers. The company name contains the initials of all the members of the family. From these premises comes the slogan: "The pleasure of working together".

2017
The GB turning point begins: after years of pure consultancy and resale, the MADE IN ITALY project starts.
By involving companies and suppliers in the area, we move the production of electrochemical instrumentation to Italy, more precisely to Emilia area. A 0 KM production.
This allows us to manage stock availability much better, constantly guaranteeing prompt delivery and unbeatable prices.
We can also focus on product research and development based on feedback that all of you resellers / customers give us.
We go further, we patent DHS technology: intelligent pH electrodes, able to memorize the calibration. The peculiarity is that if connected to an XS DHS instrument they gain maximum performance, while remaining compatible with all pH-meters on the market.
