Aneta Walaszczyk
Mass and volume measurement specialist at the PCA-accredited Measurement Laboratory at RADWAG. She has been with RADWAG for 15 years. Initially she worked in the quality control department, in the Measurement Laboratory since 2008. She participated in
preparing the Laboratory to obtain the first accreditation in Poland in the field of volume (pipettes). She has many years of experience in mass and volume measurements.
Joanna Majewska
Mass and volume measurement specialist in the PCA-accredited Measurement Laboratory at RADWAG. She has been with RADWAG since 2021. Previously, she worked for 10 years in the quality control department at Sensata (formerly Schrader Electronic) in Ireland.
At the Laboratory, she is responsible for conducting measurements and developing results for calibrated objects (balances, mass standards, pipettes).
