Stable Micro Systems Ltd was established in 1989 by a team comprising a check-weigher manufacturer, a draughtsman from a Formula 1 consultancy, and an electronics design expert. The venture began modestly in a stable and progressed through early growth to Nissen huts, expanding its staff to include software, sales, and assembly to meet rising demand. By 1995, Stable Micro Systems had developed a strong global distributor network and relocated to Godalming, Surrey, enabling the company to further develop, market, sell, and ship its instruments to international markets. The firm focused on texture analysis technology, leveraging expertise in software, electronics, and mechanical engineering to deliver instruments that addressed evolving customer needs. In 2002, Stable Micro Systems redesigned its first instrument model and launched it with enhanced capabilities requested by customers, notably the ability to collect data from other devices simultaneously, thereby expanding testing possibilities for end users. The company emphasizes its role in scientific texture analysis, volume and density measurement, and powder flow analysis, with a sales network that supports advice and information from experienced representatives. Stable Micro Systems communicates a commitment to meeting industry demands through continuous product development and customer-centric service, as reflected by its ongoing presence in global markets and its emphasis on research and application in texture analysis. The firm operates from its base in Godalming and maintains a presence across international markets through distributors, supplying instruments used in research and product development at customers' facilities worldwide.
