History

ramé-hart was founded in 1961 by Ralph Nussbaum, George Meyer, and John Hertz (and was thus named ramé-hart after the original owners). In the beginning ramé-hart was a specialty machine shop with a reputation for precision and high quality machining. In the early days of ramé-hart, the company was looking for a way to establish a proprietary product line. After meeting with Dr. William Zisman and his associates at the Naval Research Lab in Washington, DC., they decided to begin producing and selling the NRL Goniometer designed by Dr. Zisman. It soon became a fledging product line and the rest is history.

(reprinted with Permission)

By 1969 ramé-hart was selling over 20 instruments per year and offered six different accessories. ramé-hart's reputation as the world leader in contact angle instruments waxed strong as sales increased and new accessories were designed and built. By the 1990's computerization changed the instrument design from an optical microscope-based system to a camera and software-based tool. In 2004 ramé-hart restructured and the instrument line became ramé-hart instrument co. Today ramé-hart offers (9) different software-driven instrument models and over (30) different accessories and options.
