East & West Analytical Instruments, Inc. (EWAI) was founded in 1988 by senior engineers in Beijing, becoming one of China’s earliest specialized analytical instrument manufacturers. In 2007, EWAI launched China’s first domestically developed commercial GC-MS (the GC-MS 3100), marking a key milestone in domestic precision instrumentation.
In 2013, EWAI expanded globally through the acquisition of Australia-based GBC Scientific Equipment Pty Ltd. Today, the EWAI Group maintains manufacturing and engineering facilities in China, Australia, and Malaysia, with a sales and service network distributing analytical instruments to dozens of countries across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
