Company history

Weather monitoring systems equipment as well as weather stations bearing the Instromet brand initially started in 1985. The Instromet brand of weather monitoring systems and weather station equipment was originally founded in 1985.

The company remained there until the original founders sold up to enable them to retire. The business then relocated to its current Norfolk base in 2004 becoming part of the Novomec Group. During it’s time as part of the Novomec Group the company became known as Instromet Ltd. This group was then broken up in 2010 due to another retirement sale. The business then became an independent again in fact becoming Instromet Weather Systems Ltd.
