North Yorkshire Sound Meter Manufacturer Celebrates 45 Years in Business

Pioneering noise measurement manufacturer cracks the Champagne

Innovative technology, continuous business growth and a trusted partner to the Health and Safety community.

This month, Pulsar Instruments Plc celebrates its 45th anniversary. Since its inception as an engineer-led concern in Silicon Valley, USA in 1969, the pioneering sound meter manufacturer has seen extraordinary growth, becoming one of the noise measurement industry’s biggest success stories. It was the first company to feature the sound exposure level on the scale of its sound level meters and the permitted sound exposure which, at the time, was revolutionary. The groundbreaking sound meter manufacturer also pioneered the use of integrated circuitry in place of transistors. Their products are now available in more than 35 countries, and they have forged relationships with some of the biggest brands in the industrial, entertainment, transport and construction industries.

‘Our innovative technology and strong desire to expand our business globally have certainly been key factors, but the real foundation of our success lies in the long-term relationships we have established with health and safety professionals, safety consultants and company owners’, says Sarah Brack, Managing Director for Pulsar Instruments. ‘We have always existed not only as a vendor of noise measurement products but as a company with a strong commitment towards continuous research and development to benefit the industries we serve. In our first 45 years, we have evolved with our customers and their markets, delivering noise measurement solutions that help employers comply with UK and International noise at work regulations.’

‘It’s great to look back and see how far we have come from our early days’, adds Sarah. ‘We have introduced many new products in the last 45 years, from the very basic to the highly innovative. They have all contributed to a change in the way noise at work is being monitored, helping protect workers’ hearing and improving the quality of their environment.

‘From the start, we have always worked closely with customers and listened to their needs.  And to this day, we have remained faithful to our original commitment to them, which was to produce easy-to-use, durable and reliable instrumentation.’

The company is expected to increase its portfolio of noise measurement products in coming years in order to meet its growth objectives.

Sarah adds:  ‘We are proud to be a UK company with a very strong global presence. This is supported by a relatively new team of highly skilled and talented individuals. Their commitment, hard work and loyalty are key drivers to our success. The fact that Pulsar Instruments is a manufacturing company with 45 years of successful history speaks for itself. We are stronger than ever, and are still growing, innovating and capturing market shares around the world. There are many good reasons to be excited about the future and we are looking forward to the next 45 years!’
