What Microtech Ltd. does
Microtech Ltd. (מיקרוטק – ציוד וחומרים למעבדות מטלוגרפיות בע"מ) is a privately held Israeli distributor and service provider of metallurgical laboratory equipment, consumables, and metrology solutions, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Binyamina, Israel. The company operates as the local sales and technical-support channel for more than 20 international manufacturers, including Leica Microsystems (optical microscopy), Labortech (mechanical testing), QATM and Future Tech (hardness testing), Mahr (dimensional metrology), Hexagon MI and Alicona (3D optical measurement), Kemet and Lapmaster Wolters (surface preparation), Rtec Instruments (tribology/nano-indentation), ELTRA (elemental analysis), and others. Its portfolio is organized into four verticals: metallography (sample preparation and consumables), material properties (mechanical, hardness, and surface testing), optical microscopy, and dimensional metrology, complemented by a professional training program in metallography and microscopy.
The business operates on a sales-led, quote-based go-to-market model. Revenue is generated from one-time equipment sales (high-ticket instruments such as microscopes, hardness testers, and coordinate measuring machines), recurring consumables (polishing pads, diamond suspensions, lapping compounds), calibration services (length, angle, pressure), and professional training courses. Pricing is non-public and negotiated per inquiry through dedicated quote-request forms. The company is ISO certified by the Standards Institute of Israel, employs 7 staff, and claims nationwide real-time coverage across Israel for industrial laboratories and manufacturing customers. There is no disclosed venture capital, private equity backing, parent company, or subsidiary structure, and the company appears to be founder/owner-managed.

Overlaps heavily with Microtech's metallography (Kemet, Lapmaster-Wolters) and hardness testing (QATM, Future Tech) product lines.
- Buehler (ITW Test & Measurement): Buehler is a leading global manufacturer of metallographic equipment, consumables, and hardness testing instruments. Directly comparable to Microtech's metallography, hardness testing, and material properties product lines, though Buehler is a manufacturer while Microtech is a regional distributor.
- Presi: Presi is a France-based manufacturer of metallographic equipment and consumables. Comparable to Microtech's metallographic sample preparation and consumables offering; similar product breadth and target customer base (industrial labs).
Emerging players
- Helmut Fischer GmbH: Fischer is a specialist in coating thickness measurement, XRF, and material analysis. Directly comparable to Microtech's coating thickness measurement and XRF analyzer product category.
