Judges Scientific: GDS Instruments

Executive Bio

Takis Halkidis

Former Sales Manager at GDS Instruments, Judges Scientific PLC

Why is this interview interesting?

  • GDS is the global leader for high-end geotechnical instruments
  • It's unlikely another company with the know-how would enter the market given the size and lumpy cash flows
  • Order volume is lumpy given over 80% of revenue is from academic research and there is no maintenance or support revenue
  • The mechanical part of the instrument hasn't changed much in decades
  • One challenge for GDS is expanding sales abroad
