Struers is a Danish engineering company, providing equipment for metallography [3] preparation and inspection. [4] Holger F. Struer, a Danish chemist, founded Struers in 1875 in Copenhagen. [5] Struers introduced Micropol, a new process for electrolytic polishing. [1]

Struers provide cutting, mounting, grinding, polishing, microevaluation, hardness testing equipment [6] and consumables [4] for the analysis of metal samples. Government departments, [7] universities, [8] NASA [9] and the International Metallographic Society use Struers equipment in the analysis metal or material samples. [10]

Today, Struers is a global organization with offices in 24 countries and a presence in more than 60 countries, specializing in equipment, consumables, and application expertise for the preparation (mounting, grinding, and polishing, as well as hardness testing [11] ) and analysis of material samples.

Struers is owned by Roper Technologies, a US-based diversified technology company with annual revenues of $5.4 billion. [12]
