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 1967, we self-invented the very first electronic universal testing machine in China.
In 1978, we self-invented the very first electro-hydro servo fatigue testing machine in China.
In 1980, we self-developed China's first high-temperature vacuum test device using radiation heating to 2500°C.
In 1992, we independently developed the very first electro-hydro servo testing rig for shock absorber in China.
During this period of time, the company underwent several equity reforms, re-formulated its development strategy, broadened its product line, and increased the number of R&D teams.
In 2007, the company firstly named it as Changchun Research Institute for Testing Machines Co., Ltd. In 2010, it then changed its name into Changchun Research Institute for Machinery Science Co., Ltd (CRIMS).
In 2013, we self-developed the very first China’s two-axis four-cylinder electro-hydro servo fatigue testing machine
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.
