Supporting science and technology since 1952
Who We Are
Since the 19th Century the Wyzenbeek family has operated a successful scientific and medical supply company. The company was originally established in Holland, however during the period 1940 to 1944 the company remained closed. A decision was taken in 1948 for the family to emigrate to Australia. The Dutch business was sold and in November 1950 the family arrived in Sydney with the purpose of re-establishing the company.
In 1952, John Morris Scientific Pty Ltd was founded as a partnership between John Wyzenbeek and Morris Garlick. In 1954 the company was purchased by the Wyzenbeek family.
Nobert Wyzenbeek, (John's son) joined the organisation in 1971 and holds the role as Chairman to this day. Norbert's sons Andre (joined 1994) and Karl (joined 2005) are company directors and actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the company.
For over 70 years & three generations the company has remained privately owned and prospered.
