The AFFRI Brand

Since 1954, the Italian history of hardness measurement. Now manufactured and supported by Axiotek.

The AFFRI brand was founded in 1954 by Giovanni Affri under OMAG-AFFRI, soon becoming one of Europe’s leading names in industrial hardness testing.

Today, Axiotek is the world’s only manufacturer of the AFFRI line, ensuring technical continuity, original spare parts, calibration, and certified support.
