Tannas Co.

Tannas Co. was established in 1981 in response to the growing global need for continuous innovation in instrument development and testing methodologies that support the formulation, performance evaluation, and quality assurance of lubricants and related chemical products. Originally formed as the manufacturing and marketing division of instrument developments from Savant Laboratories, the company quickly built a strong foundation in precision engineering and specialised testing solutions.
Today, Tannas Co. is recognised worldwide as a leading manufacturer and supplier of highly specialised laboratory instruments for lubricant and chemical testing. The company continues to evolve alongside the petroleum, automotive, and industrial lubrication sectors, consistently developing new technologies to meet increasingly complex performance and regulatory requirements.
Among its most notable contributions to the industry are several patented instruments and internationally recognised test methods that have been incorporated into global engine oil specifications. These include the Tapered Bearing Simulator Viscometer (TBS), the Quantum Oxidation Tester, the low-temperature pumpability test system, the Thin Film Oxidation Uptake Test (TFOUT), and the Thermo-oxidation Engine Oil Simulation Test (TEOST). Each of these instruments plays a critical role in evaluating lubricant performance under real-world operating conditions, ensuring reliability, durability, and compliance with industry standards.
Tannas Co. is committed to producing high-quality, high-precision instruments that are carefully assembled by skilled in-house craftsmen. Every system is fully commissioned by a Tannas Certified Engineer, ensuring that each instrument meets strict performance, calibration, and quality requirements before deployment.
