TIMELINE OF SINOTEST

  • 1959

    Changchun Research Institute for Testing Machines of The Ministry of Machinery Industry

    Affiliated to the Ministry of Machinery Industry of China, Legendary first-generation Sinotest team

    SINOTEST Equipment Co., Ltd (SINOTEST) commenced as Changchun Testing Machine Research Institute affiliated to the Ministry of Machinery Industry of China in Changchun in 1959, which is the technical centralized research institute of the Chinese testing machine industry.

    Adhering to the pioneering and innovative development concept, the first generation SINOTEST team opened the road of independent R&D and production of Chinese own testing machines. It is also acknowledged as “the cradle of Chinese testing machine technology”.

    1999, it transformed from a research institute to an enterprise, named as Changchun Research Institute for Testing Machines, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the China National Machinery Industry Corporation (also known as SINOMACH), one of the world's top 500 enterprises.
