Islandix has been sitting on the sidelines of the 2025 Trump Trade War but, unfortunately, now finds itself short of cash. There’s no simple solution because this is an uninvestable market. Islandix will wind down in phases with production and development closed first, closed now.

Future direction

Islandix tools were designed so you own them. They do not depend on any cloud functions or require subscriptions (subscription business models are for assholes). Islandix tools will continue to work as they always have.

Our phone line is now disconnected. Email support will continue but expect a daily cadence instead of hourly. For the best experience interacting with volunteer support staff, ensure your messages are marked by kindness and patience. Plenty of parts will be retained to support tools in the field. But with no income to support a first-class warranty program, don’t expect service beyond stated terms. If you are easygoing, support and service may be available for re-sold Islandix tools and those out of warranty.

If anyone is interested in purchasing the Islandix intellectual property, it is available for as little as $1 plus an employment contract.

Closeout tools

A single-digit number of closeout tools are available but tentatively reserved for existing customers only. The closeout price is $649 CAD including Mitutoyo SPC indicator cables but excluding indicators themselves (approx. $465 USD, €415 EUR). Please inquire to purchase. This post will be updated when supplies are exhausted.
