About ShockWatch, Inc.

More than 35 years ago, ShockWatch turned a simple idea into a global resource. The company’s first proprietary indicators and condition-based monitoring devices were used to detect mishandling of sensitive computer media in transit. We found this simple concept so effective that the product was leveraged into new markets and additional technology was developed for many other applications.

ShockWatch, a division of the MRI family, evolved with each new innovation. Our expert resources help customers around the globe find the right solutions to deter mishandling and reduce costs.

Innovative products and responsive service are the hallmarks of the MRI family of companies: ShockWatch, DPC, and DataSpan. From small businesses to multi-national companies — including two-thirds of the Fortune 100 and more than half of the Fortune 1000 — we are dedicated to helping our customers achieve new levels of efficiency, quality, and safety.
