STAIB Instruments is one of the world’s leading producers
of reliable high performance surface analysis instruments.

Staib_Instruments_Germany

Established by Dr. Philippe Staib in 1987 near Munich, Germany, our company soon formed a team of highly qualified scientists and technicians to develop and manufacture instruments for surface analysis. The STAIB team’s key objective is to provide highly innovative technical solutions and state of the art, reliable instruments tailored for research, development, and manufacturing. STAIB is committed to offering the best possible support and service, including worldwide training and trade shows. In 1994, STAIB INSTRUMENTS, Inc. was established in Williamsburg, VA, for sales and service of STAIB Instruments products in the Americas.

For over 30 years, STAIB has delivered instruments, from components to complete systems, that are widely recognized for their excellence, quality and reliability. All systems are built and tested in the company by highly skilled technicians, so they can be tailored to suit individual customer’s needs. In many cases, STAIB INSTRUMENTS designed and built entirely new and challenging systems to fit user’s specification.

Our customer’s success is our pride
