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.

In 2013, we self-developed the very first China’s two-axis four-cylinder electro-hydro servo fatigue testing machine.

2017-NOW

Changchun Materials Testing Machine Institute

As the product range grew and the technical focus grew beyond that of universal testing machines, the company then traded and branded itself as SINOTEST Equipment Co., Ltd. It is now the National Testing Machine Quality Inspection and Testing Center and the supporting unit of the National Testing Machine Standardization Committee. The National Testing Machine Industry Association and the Association.
