What Endecotts does

Endecotts Ltd is a UK-based manufacturer of laboratory test sieves, sieve shakers, and ancillary sample-processing equipment, headquartered in Hope, Hope Valley, and operating as a subsidiary of the Verder Scientific Group. The company has been making particle-analysis equipment for more than 80 years and serves quality-control laboratories, inspection labs, and production sites in pharmaceuticals, food and feed, mining and geology, construction materials, chemicals and plastics, steel and metals, diamond grading, and academic research. Its product portfolio is organized into three families: test sieves (woven wire, perforated plate, microplate, wet washing, and diamond sieves), sieve shakers spanning portable entry-level (Minor 200) through heavy-duty industrial (EFL 300, Titan 450) and high-precision digital (Octagon 200CL), plus air-jet sieving (Air Sizer 200); ancillary sample-processing equipment (ultrasonic cleaners, consistometers, sample dividers); and accessories plus a recertification/calibration service. Technical capabilities span mesh sizes from 125 mm down to 5 μm, closed-loop amplitude control on flagship shakers, and air-jet dispersion for sub-20 μm dry particles, with ISO 9001:2015 quality certification underpinning the offering.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment sales via a quote-based enterprise model and a UK WebShop direct channel, with a recurring revenue stream from calibration, recertification, and consumable accessories. Distribution is a hybrid model: a global network of qualified agents and distributors handles the bulk of international sales, while direct quote handling serves enterprise and customized orders in the UK and overseas. The company localizes marketing in English, French, and Russian, indicating a deliberate cross-border go-to-market, and is actively expanding its distributor base worldwide. Endecotts does not disclose revenue, has no external funding rounds, and shows no AI or software-platform layer in its offering; its competitive position rests on long-tenured brand, precision manufacturing craft, regulatory-grade calibration services, and channel breadth.

Products and services

• Endecotts Test Sieves Certified 200 mm and 100 mm woven-wire and perforated-plate test sieves used by laboratories in mining, quarrying, pharmaceutical, food and materials industries to determine particle size distribution by dry or wet sieving. Supplied as standard, certified to ISO/ASTM standards, with bespoke aperture sizes available.
• Endecotts WS Tyler Ro-Tap RX-29 Replacement Sieves Factory-grade replacement test sieves compatible with the WS Tyler Ro-Tap RX-29 sieve shaker, enabling continued operation with new certified mesh sets.
• Endecotts Ultrasonic Cleaner (Endclean) Ultrasonic cleaning bath for laboratory use, designed specifically for cleaning test sieves and removing clinging particles to support accurate particle-size analysis.
• Endecotts Sieve Shakers (E-series, D-series and Spinning Riffler) Range of mechanical and electromagnetic sieve shakers, including the EFL 2000, EFL 2000 3-D, EFL 2000 3-D Vibe, and Spinning Riffler models, used for dry and wet particle size analysis in laboratory and production environments. Features include 3-D vibratory motion, variable amplitude, and closed-loop digital control for reproducible agitation.
• Endecotts Air Jet Sieving System (e200 LS) Air jet sieving machine that uses a rotating slotted nozzle under controlled vacuum to disperse fine powders and determine particle size distribution without mechanical sieve agitation, particularly suited to powders in the 10 µm to 4 mm range, including substances subject to statutory restrictions or agglomeration.
• Endecotts Sonic Sifter (L3P) Sonic sifter that uses gentle vertical sonic vibration plus a small horizontal mechanical action to separate fragile and agglomerated materials without degrading particles during dry sieving.
• Endecotts Endrobo Ultrasonic Sieve Deagglomeration System Ultrasonic sieving system that uses sonic frequency to deagglomerate and prevent blinding on fine meshes during particle-size analysis of difficult-to-sieve materials.
• Endecotts UK WebShop Online shop hosted by Endecotts Ltd (iZettle/Fortuna Pay Ltd trading address) that lets UK customers purchase stocked test sieves, sieve shakers, accessories, ultrasonic cleaners, spare parts and consumables online, with various postal delivery options to UK destinations.
• Endecotts Test Sieve Calibration and Recertification Service Accredited calibration, inspection and recertification of Endecotts test sieves to ensure continued compliance with international standards and reliable particle-size results; provided through the Manchester headquarters.

Direct peers

• Haver & Boecker: German family-owned manufacturer of test sieves, sieve shakers and analysis equipment serving labs and industrial QA, the closest direct competitor in woven-wire and microplate sieves.
• Retsch (Verder Scientific): Manufacturer of laboratory mills, sieve shakers and sample-prep equipment for particle characterization — a direct competitor and sister brand under the same Verder Scientific parent group as Endecotts.
• Fritsch GmbH: German maker of laboratory sieve shakers, vibratory feeders and mills used for particle-size analysis, directly comparable to Endecotts' Octagon/Minor/Air Sizer lines.
• Gilson Company, Inc. US-based supplier of test sieves, sieve shakers, and aggregate testing equipment — a close peer with overlapping product breadth in lab and construction-materials QA.
• SWECO (a business unit of L.B. Foster): Manufacturer of vibratory and ultrasonic screening equipment, including laboratory sieve shakers for wet and dry particle separation, comparable to Endecotts' shaker portfolio.

Broad incumbents

• Bühler Group: Swiss process-technology group serving food, feed and advanced materials with sorting, grinding and particle-classification solutions overlapping Endecotts' food/feed and chemicals customer segments.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific: Global life-sciences and lab-instruments leader; broad analytical-instrument portfolio overlaps Endecotts' pharma and food QC end-customers but does not specialize in mechanical test sieves.
• Agilent Technologies: Analytical-instrument and lab-services major serving pharma, food and chemicals customers with chromatography and spectroscopy; comparable only at the customer-overlap level, not in core mechanical sieves.

Emerging players

• Eriez: US manufacturer of magnetic separation, vibratory and screening equipment for industrial particle handling — partial overlap with Endecotts' steel, mining and bulk-sample screening use cases.

Others

• Verder Scientific Group: Parent group of Endecotts and Retsch, bundling laboratory-instrument brands (Retsch, Microtrac, Carbolite, Eltra) — directly relevant as the controlling parent and as the natural consolidation/funding counterparty.
