Struers Service Plans

PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE SUPPORT

Our Product Life Cycle Program helps you understand the status of your Struers equipment.
In that way, your lab can run at optimal efficiency and performance without any breakdowns.

At Struers, we have always prided ourselves on the quality and longevity of our equipment, where it is normal to see equipment aged 20-40 years still running in our customers’ laboratories. However, it has become increasingly difficult to guarantee the ability to supply spare parts and maintain the service levels that Struers would like to be known for to ensure our customers’ preparation accuracy, certainty, and safety.

We are committed to providing industry-leading service and support to our customers. The Product Life Cycle Policy for equipment is designed to help you understand the support status of your Struers equipment and to plan for the future and to keep your lab running at optimal efficiency and performance.

Our Service Support Policy has been divided into three defined product lifecycle phases to clarify the support status of your equipment and lab and what you can expect from Struers, depending on the individual phase.
