2017 was a very exciting year for all of us at ELE International. Looking back through the year we accomplished many of our objectives. This Included the launch of a new series of automatic compression testing machines, the changing of our logo and, most importantly, served thousands of our global customers with high quality civil and environmental engineering test equipment. We also raised funds for our chosen charities through social events organised internally at ELE, as we believe it is important to give something back to good causes. ELE International would like to thank you all for your business and support throughout the year. We wish you a wonderful Holiday Season and a New Year of good health, happiness and prosperity. Please take a moment to see some of the highlights of 2017.
