Deatak

Deatak is the premier name in flammability testing because our name literally means smoke. Derived from the Gaelic word deatach, the company’s name conveys what we are passionate about: fire! Deatak is the most recent chapter in the story of The Govmark Organization. Formed in New York in 1972 as a testing laboratory, they began producing high quality, reliable flammability test instruments that quickly became the cornerstone of labs around the world. In 2005, the testing and manufacturing divisions separated and resulted in the formation of Govmark Ltd in Illinois. Initially, Govmark Ltd was commissioned to add additional instruments to the existing catalog, including the Microscale Combustion Calorimeter, Cone Calorimeter, and Rate of Heat Release Tester (OSU). In 2012, all production was transitioned to Govmark Ltd as an independent company. Govmark Ltd changed its name to Deatak in 2015 and continues to deliver the superior products and service customers have come to expect.
