About Us

Navi Mumbai · Est. 2003

Two decades of building instruments that laboratories trust

Takahe Analytical Instruments was founded on the conviction that Indian manufacturers could deliver world-class sample preparation instruments. Today, from Tezpur to Trivandrum and across 10 countries, over a thousand laboratory installations carry the Takahe name.

Our Story

Takahe began in 2003 with a single product and a clear purpose: to manufacture reliable Nitrogen Evaporators for Indian analytical laboratories that had long depended on imports. Reconstituted as a partnership firm in 2005, the company brought together deep instrumentation engineering with clinical laboratory science and a structured approach to client operations.

Each product added to our range — SPE systems, multi-tube vortexers, shakers, spinners, and nitrogen generators — has been driven by a specific industry need, often shaped directly by our clients. When CRO labs scaled their throughput demands, we engineered 100-position and then 144-position evaporators. When fisheries processing units across remote coastal India needed to comply with MPEDA standards, we supported their compliance rollout with instruments built to perform reliably in those conditions — across Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Odisha, and West Bengal.

From a single product category in Navi Mumbai, Takahe instruments now operate in over 100 Indian cities — from Tezpur in the northeast to Trivandrum in the south — and across 10 countries spanning South East Asia, West Asia, Europe, and North America. In 2025 we extended our offering further by partnering with Raytor Instruments to bring Transdermal Diffusion and Dissolution Systems into our portfolio.

Our growth has been relationship-led from the start. Clients who trusted us with a single instrument have stayed through product generations and expanding applications. That trust — earned instrument by instrument, lab by lab — remains the foundation of how we operate.

Milestones
