Building off of its 25 year history in the educational products market, and under new management, EKI has been able to reestablish itself as a reliable source for competitively priced quality science educational products.
EKI was founded in California in the late 1970's to enter the educational electronics market, a new and growing marketplace with the advent of home computers, video games and new electronic devices. They developed and began to market electronic kits, software training tools and full courses designed to train students in electronics.

The company flourished well into the 1990's at which point the demand for such products began to decrease. Public schools were no longer receiving funding for electronics courses and schools were not actively seeking electronics teachers. In 2002, a group of investors consisting of the current board of directors purchased a majority interest in the firm. New management was brought in to turn the firm around and explore other sectors in the industry that showed stronger profit potential.

The company moved to Texas, stabilized its operations and by leveraging its customer base, market knowledge and other assets, it began to turn a small profit. The firm began to establish relationships with major science equipment manufacturers, developed distributor arrangements and prepared for the launch of this new division under the name of Sciencelabs.com. Sciencelabs.com was launched on April 1, 2006 at the NSTA (National Science Teachers Association) conference in California. They also launched a website at the same time which is used as its primary online marketing tool at www.sciencelabs.com. Based on recent successful initiatives, the company believes it is well positioned to gain market share in this multi-billion dollar market.

Building off of its experience in the electronic science educational products market, EKI has been able to reestablish itself as a reliable low cost source for quality science educational products. We welcome you to our web site and invite you to view our detailed corporate information.
