Illiana Forms Partnership with Lesman Instrument Company and RAECO.

Illiana Instrumentation Service is an established provider of engineering, commissioning, calibration, and maintenance service for companies in the Midwest. Led by Paul Grolla, an ISA-Certified Control System Technician Level III, Illiana Instrumentation's calibration lab is assessed to ISO Guide 25 by AIAG, and assessed to ISO Guide 17025 by A2LA.

Through our partnership with Lesman Instrument Company, a well-established supplier of process instrumentation, and RAECO, a premier supplier of environmental, safety, and industrial hygiene instrumentation, Illiana is now your one-stop source for instrumentation and service.

The customary personal service that has been traditional with all three organizations will be further supplemented with improved electronic and traditional communications tools to provide customers with expedited information and resources. Improved inventory and rental, training, and product service will contribute measurably to the success and satisfaction of all of our customers.

Partnership Benefits

As part of the Lesman Instrumentation Group, Illiana technicians will have direct access to factory support systems, technicians, and training programs. The service team will attend ongoing product training through Lesman and RAECO, and be able to draw on the experience of the application specialists and technical sales engineers at both companies.

Illiana staff will have access to the extensive information resources at Lesman and RAECO, including all product documentation, application notes, and technical tips from manufacturers and support technicians alike. With more than $1 million in inventory on-hand, Illiana technicians will be better able to source customer needs.
