TestResources is a global partnership offering products and services related to mechanical testing for performance, durability, strength and fracture.

TestResources Asia (TRA) is the largest single member of the partnership with over a hundred personnel spread across the continent. TRA is administered by Bangalore Integrated System Solutions (P) Ltd (BiSS), the country’s largest developer and manufacturer of servo-hydraulic test equipment. TRA distributors and service personnel support a number of BiSS testing machines installed in India, Malaysia, China and Taiwan, as well as in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

BiSS is also a major equipment and component vendor to Test Resources Incorporated (TRI), Minneapolis, USA. TRI is the exclusive distributor for BiSS testing machines in North and South America, TRI have installed a number of BiSS servo-hydraulic testing machines and control systems in the US, supporting industry, academia and private test laboratories.

Practically every two-wheeler,  three wheeler and automobile heavy ground vehicle manufactured in India uses suspension components that were checked for quality on a BiSS test system from TestResources. The same systems are also used to test air lifters, engine and transmission mounts, before they are assembled into GM-Cadillac cars.

BiSS has over 15 year’s experience in the development, manufacture and support of a wide variety of servo-controlled mechanical testing machines. The 70-strong team at BiSS has  over 100 man years of experience in engineering test equipment, these have made BiSS technology unique in many ways. We are proud to be associated with leading aerospace, defence and nuclear power establishments. Tested and proven solutions from BiSS operating worldwide include:
