History

John Morris Scientific was founded in April 1956 by John Leon Wyzenbeek and Morris Garlick to supply Australian research laboratories.

Since inception, three generations of the Wyzenbeek family have worked in John Morris Scientific. At present, John's son Norbert is Chairman of the Board and Norbert's eldest son Andre Wyzenbeek is the Managing Director.

In the early days, John would ride a bicycle to customers selling glassware until he had enough orders to place a shipment with his European suppliers. In 1987 John Morris transitioned from Glassware and Chemicals into instrumentation – investing in product specialist staff and service infrastructure. John Morris Scientific maintains knowledge of the latest technologies by providing personnel with regular factory training, attending vendors’ facilities regularly and through involvement in key industry events.

This company is the only third generation, privately owned, scientific instrument supplier in the South West Pacific region. John Morris Scientific has remained under the same family ownership for nearly 60 years.

Service and training

Their technical services team is composed of 15 product specialists and 15 technical engineers. These staff are regularly factory trained on specific instrumentation ensuring that their knowledge remains current. Those service and product specialists are scientists and engineers who take advanced factory training directly from manufacturers. The John Morris Scientific staff share expertise through user training (with installation) and ongoing support specific to application requirements.
