MBRAUN Glove Box
Technology
About MBRAUN / Our History
In the early 1970's, the first inert atmosphere glovebox
reached the market. The need for this type of equipment
was rapidly rising, but some facilities were unsatisfied
with the available technology.
Two young, skilled and dedicated engineers Mr. Hellmut
Fölster and Mr. Gerhard Hinrichs were asked to develop
and build a glovebox system that would satisfy their higher
demands for technology and quality. After the first system
was produced, its success led to the formation of "M.Braun
Labortechnische Geräte GmbH" in 1974.
This company was dedicated to the development, manufacture
and advancement of inert gas technology. The reliability
of operation and purity of environments quickly earned
MBRAUN the reputation of
producing the finest gloveboxes available. MBRAUN
has continuously grown and expanded its sales area
from Europe to the United States and Asia.
