More InformationQuality made in Germany
PSL Systemtechnik GmbH was founded in 1999 by Dr. Jens Pfeiffer from the Clausthal-Zellerfeld University of Technology.
In 2015, the company headquarters were relocated to Osterode am Harz in the OIB Industriepark, Freiheit district.
Here we develop and produce our laboratory equipment on 1,300 square meters. A spacious laboratory for quality assurance and a further service laboratory for contract measurements form the center. All areas of the company are still close to each other. The short distances enable a direct and simple exchange between the departments. These closely interlinked and coordinated processes result in optimum laboratory equipment and services for our customers.
To ensure the quality of our purchased parts, we source 99% of them from national suppliers. We have precision mechanical components manufactured regionally according to our drawings. The geographical proximity enables close cooperation.

Our Excellence Promotions
Individual Investment Promotion Programme
What is the Individual Investment Support Programme?
The Individual Investment Promotion Programme is a promotion programme of the NBank in Lower Saxony with subsidies from the European Union. The investment support is used to subsidise investment projects in Lower Saxony. The aim is to support the competitiveness and adaptability of the economy in structurally weak regions. The creation and safeguarding of training places and permanent jobs is essential for the approval of investment projects.
Which project is funded?
Expansion of the production site in Osterode am Harz
We are expanding our operations in the following areas:
- The service laboratory is equipped with a new fume cupboard system and further measuring equipment.
- The workstations in production are digitized and made more ergonomic.
- The R&D department receives a database for the management of technical drawings.
The aim of these measures is, on the one hand, to expand our service laboratory for flow assurance extensively. On the other hand, we achieve faster access to data through digitalisation and the use of a database for technical drawings. This will enable us to continue to support our employees in their work.
Ultimately, we are extending our lead over our competitors and will continue to do everything in our power to manufacture the best product for our customers in the future.
Low-threshold innovation promotion
What is low-threshold innovation promotion?
The Low-Threshold Innovation Promotion is a support programme of the NBank in Lower Saxony with grants from the European Union. Innovation funding is used to subsidise the company’s own research and development projects aimed at new or improved marketable products or at the development and implementation of process and organisational innovations. The aim is to support the innovative strength and competitiveness of companies. Exceeding the company-related state of the art is essential for the approval of R&D projects.
What was funded?
Process innovation to improve the quality of high-tech laboratory equipment for the petroleum industry
PSL was the first company in Lower Saxony to receive approval for a process innovation.
The aim of the process innovation is to improve the quality of the products through the in-house development of systems for improved operational and organisational forms in the company.
The basis for our future company growth and the further assurance of the variety and quality of our products is the change of our existing processes and the establishment of a continuous transparency, so that e.g. new employees can be trained faster. In addition, production and quality assurance times are to be shortened. More and more suppliers are outsourcing their production to China or Eastern Europe, resulting in lower quality of purchased parts.
All efforts are aimed at continuously improving our processes in order to achieve an even higher quality of our products.
ZIM support
What is Zim support?
The Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (ZIM) is a promotional programme at federal level. The ZIM subsidises demanding research and development projects that lead to new products. The aim is to sustainably support the innovative strength and competitiveness of companies. The technological innovation content and good market opportunities of the R&D projects funded are essential for approval.
Which project was funded?
Development of an H2S Analyzer for the determination of hydrogen sulfide in bitumen and heavy oils
PSL developed from a patented laboratory process an industrially applicable, transportable hydrogen sulphide tester, the H2S Analyzer.
The laboratory instrument measures the hydrogen sulphide content of bitumen and heavy oils for temperatures up to 200 °C. With this instrument, both dissolved and inherent (bound) hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is quantitatively analyzed for the first time in both the liquid and gas phases. A patented laboratory process was converted into an industrially usable laboratory device. This world first is used in quality assurance and occupational safety in the production process for bitumen manufacturers and processors, in refineries and in the petrochemical industry.
Our Contest Participations
Volksbank Innovation Award 2017
Award for the development of the cold finger
Creative ideas and sustainable concepts are in demand at the Volksbank Innovation Award. This Future Prize is awarded every two years to visionary entrepreneurs in the region. We received the award for the development of the Cold Finger.
PSL has launched the Cold Finger as an in-house development to expand our portfolio with this standard measurement method in the area of flow assurance. The Cold Finger is a laboratory instrument that measures the wax content of crude oils.
We thought outside the box, turned away from conventional concepts and were able to revolutionize a common measuring method as a result. We questioned all technical solutions, e.g. in the area of temperature control and measuring station mounting and created added value for the customer through handling to sample use. Thanks to the distinctive modular structure, we can offer the customer a total of 27 possible combinations. An attractive design rounds off the concept.
Lower Saxony Foreign Trade Prize
Also known as the "Export-Oscar of North Germany"
The Foreign Trade Prize is awarded to companies in Lower Saxony that hold their own on export markets abroad worldwide. An image film will be made about the finalists.
Our managing director Dr. Jens Pfeiffer and authorized signatory Rena Pfeiffer accepted the award from Lower Saxony’s Economics Minister Olaf Lies. Dr. Jens Pfeiffer is delighted about the award: “We are proud to have received this prize for our work. Many successful companies from various industries have applied for this award. Our corporate strategy has convinced the jury. This award confirms our commitment to foreign trade and motivates us to continue along our chosen path in terms of customer loyalty, service and innovation”.
Volksbank Innovation Award 2010
Award for the development of the Sapphire Glass Rocking Cell
Creative ideas and sustainable concepts are in demand at the Volksbank Innovation Award. This Future Prize is awarded every two years to visionary entrepreneurs in the region.
The Sapphire Rocking Cell RCS examines gas hydrates, kinetic gas hydrate inhibitors and anti-agglomomerants under deepwater conditions up to 340 bar. The sapphire glass test cells are completely transparent. The entire sample chamber can be viewed to closely observe the behaviour and structure of the gas hydrates formed. The experiments can also be recorded by camera. For the first time, it is possible to observe whether hydrates collect or compact at less turbulent points.
With the Sapphire Rocking Cell our customers save up to 50% of the development and test times compared to previously used test methods. The project costs are reduced accordingly. Meanwhile, the “Big 5” in flow assurance and leading researchers in this field are using our device.
We promote a sense of community
Social commitment
Social commitment, which also includes the assumption of honorary offices, is a social task for us. In this way, we as a company, but also each and every one of us, can contribute to a better world. We are proud of the fact that many of our employees are also volunteers.
We feel a strong connection to our home region. This is why we specifically support social and cultural projects in the region. Work with children and young people is particularly important to us.

Regionally connected: Our Christmas cards
Heartfelt thanks to our region: The Harz Mountains
Every year we send self-designed Christmas cards all over the world. In doing so, we use a wintry motif from our homeland, the Harz Mountains and its surroundings, and present it.
With an export share of over 90%, we sell our devices from Japan to India, Europe to the USA and Brazil. We owe this success, among other things, to our home region: with our dedicated employees who live here, our suppliers from the region and the infrastructure that we use as a matter of course.
With our Christmas cards, we want to say thank you and give a part back. We introduce our home to our customers and show what makes us strong.
