Service at the speed of innovation

Service at the Speed of Innovation: Strengthening Customer Readiness Across Europe

Across Europe, we are seeing a clear shift in how customers define service value. Engineering teams are working under tighter timelines, managing more complex technologies, and operating in environments where even small deviations can carry significant consequences. In this context, service is no longer just about maintenance. It’s about ensuring measurement confidence and peak instrument performance at every stage of the innovation cycle.

At Tektronix, we’re evolving our service model globally to meet these needs. Across this region, we are bringing that strategy to life by focusing on three priorities: proximity, performance, and simplicity.

Closer to the customer

Access to service should never slow innovation.

The opening of our service center in Cologne, Germany, strengthens our ability to serve customers where they operate. Purpose-built for factory-verified and multi-brand calibration, the facility expands our regional footprint and creates a more direct path to service.

For customers, the impact is immediate: faster turnaround times, fewer logistical barriers, and great predictability.

Consider a semiconductor manufacturer operating on compressed development cycles. When critical instruments require service, even short delays can affect production timelines. Bringing service closer helps reduce delays and keep work moving.

Confidence in every measurement

Speed matters. Long-term precision matters more.

Calibration is not simply a requirement for compliance. It ensures instruments continue to perform to their intended specifications—consistently, accurately, and in line with their original design.

Our factory-aligned calibration approach is designed to preserve that performance over time. It gives engineers confidence in their measurements, whether validating designs, troubleshooting systems or advancing new technologies.

We are also expanding specialized capabilities in the region. Full-service support for IsoVu™ isolated voltage probes is now available in Cologne, eliminating the need to send instruments outside the region. This reduces downtime while maintaining the technical rigor customers expect.

As measurement challenges grow more complex and tolerances tighten, this combination of precision and accessibility becomes essential.

A simpler, more connected experience

Service should be easy to access, coordinate, and align with how customers work.

To support this, we are:

• Announcing new on-site fully accredited calibration service capabilities in Europe for our 4 Series MSO and 5 Series MSO oscilloscopes.
• Expanding on-site accredited calibration service capabilities in Europe for our 6 Series MSO oscilloscopes (currently up to 3GHz, with additional coverage planned that will extend to the 7 Series MSO).

These teams work closely with customers to plan service, navigate support options, and align calibration and maintenance strategies with operational priorities.

Whether managing a single site or coordinating across multiple countries, customers benefit from a more connected and responsive experience—with clear ownership at every step.

Looking ahead

These developments mark a meaningful step forward in how we serve customers across the region.

With expanded infrastructure, enhanced local capabilities and dedicated account management, we are strengthening our ability to deliver service that is precise, responsive, and dependable.

As expectations evolve, so will our approach. We will continue to invest in regional capabilities, expand access to specialized expertise, and refine how customers engage with our service organization. Because ultimately, service is not measured by what we provide. It’s measured by what it enables.

Thank you for your continued trust in Tektronix.
