About Miethke Laborglas
Miethke Laborglas GmbH is a manufacturer and developer of glass apparatus and systems based in Leverkusen. The company has existed since 1951 and is run in its second generation by Frank Miethke. Its product range covers laboratory glass and technical glass, in particular glass vessels and column components with and without double jackets, including accessories such as lids, heat exchangers, reflux dividers, flasks, clamp connections, gaskets and frame construction. Production is predominantly in borosilicate glass (Borofloat); in addition, stirrer seals, mechanical seal stirrer glands, V2A stainless steel adapters and plan-parallel ground glass cylinders are offered. Alongside its standard program, the company plans and manufactures custom glass products within the scope of its technical capabilities and offers consulting, frame construction and quality assurance testing. The products are used mainly in research and industry.
