History

Ralph, Markus, and Gerhard Juchheim (JULABO GmbH managing shareholders)

A tradition of innovation and technology

1967: Founding
JULABO was founded in 1967 by owner and Managing Director Gerhard Juchheim. 

1970s and 1980s:
Expansion and growth

1972:
JULABO introduced the first fully electronic laboratory circulator. JULABO garnered attention at the 1979 ACHEMA trade fair with new products, a new design, and introduction of an LED temperature display. In 1982 the company demonstrated direct measurement and control of an external system. We also presented a MULTI-DISPLAY LED with warning and safety functions.

The 1990s:
Innovation and global expansion
MICROPROCESSOR electronics were introduced in 1992. In 1993 we founded subsidiary JULABO USA on the east cost of the United States. In 1994 JULABO received DIN ISO 9001 certification. Circulators of the new TopTech series permanently replaced analog technology. In the same year, we founded subsidiary JULABO JAPAN and two years later JULABO SINGAPORE. In 1997 circulators and temperature controllers of the HighTech series were launched.

1999:
JULABO introduces the first splash-proof MICROPROCESSOR water baths and shaking water baths. "ECONOMY" laboratory circulators with LED display make glass thermometers unnecessary. JULABO UK extends our presence to Great Britain.
