About HWS Labortechnik
HWS Labortechnik from Mainz manufactures custom reactor and filtration systems made of borosilicate glass 3.3 for laboratory and pilot plant applications. The portfolio includes jacketed glass reactors, filter funnels (Büchner funnels), reactor components such as bottom drain valves, stirrer seals, stirrers, adapters and clamps, as well as electronic laboratory systems for temperature and reflux control with corresponding monitoring devices. In addition, the company supplies complete mini-plants for laboratory and pilot applications and adapts systems to existing installations or carries out subsequent modifications. Production takes place in the company's own workshop by qualified specialists using Schott-brand borosilicate glass from Mainz; metal and plastic are also processed. Customers include chemical and pharmaceutical corporations as well as research laboratories worldwide. The company was founded in 1941 as a glass workshop.
