In 1970 Andrew Jaworski represented MTL Instruments Group Plc in South Africa, and because of its popularity and successful sales among the various industries,
Andrew formed Extech Safety Systems in the August of 1987. In 1989, K V Dahya joined Andrew to assist him with sales and promotion of the MTL products.
Extech Safety System’s primary activity was to assist and serve the market place and the industries that required instrumentation for hazardous areas, especially
intrinsic safety.
