About Novitest
Novitest Paint Testing equipment: New Name, Proven Experience
Novitest is a new brand in test equipment for paint and coatings, built on years of hands-on experience in the coating inspection industry. Our company was founded by specialists who understand the challenges of surface preparation, coating application, and quality control in real working environments.
While Novitest is a young company, our expertise is anything but new. We combine deep industry knowledge with a strong focus on innovation, new technology, and smart product design. Our goal is to develop reliable, practical, and forward-thinking solutions for professionals in the field of paint testing, coatings inspection, and surface contamination measurement.
Our current product range is focused and carefully selected, but it will continue to grow. You can expect a steady stream of new developments designed to help inspectors, contractors, and laboratories work more accurately, efficiently, and confidently.
At Novitest, innovation is not about copying what already exists. Many suppliers in the market closely follow the designs of others. We take a different approach.
We rely on our own engineering expertise, creativity, and direct input from the people who use our products every day. By listening to inspectors, technicians, and laboratory professionals, we gain a clear understanding of their needs, frustrations, and practical challenges.
That real-world feedback helps us refine every detail, from product design to usability and performance. The result is coating inspection equipment and surface test solutions that are built for the demands of actual field and lab work.

Our equipment is designed to support professionals across different coating applications. From field inspection to laboratory testing.

Equipment for on-site testing and inspection of coated surfaces in demanding environments.

Tools designed for consistent measurements in industrial production and coating processes.

Precision equipment for controlled environments, research and product validation.

At Novitest, we believe that quality control and research are essential to professional production environments. Reliable, traceable tools and equipment are crucial for carrying out this work accurately and consistently. Choosing low-cost equipment from unknown or unverified sources may seem economical at first, but it often results in failures, unreliable test results, delayed R&D projects, and additional costs that far exceed the initial savings.
