Vleuten (NL), 2. Juli 2012. Carbolite Limited, a leading manufacturer of laboratory and industrial furnaces, has become part of the Verder Group, a German-Dutch family-owned technology group. This acquisition adds a new product range to the portfolio of Verder’s Scientific Division. Carbolite, which is located in the English Peak District (East Midlands), has over 70 years of experience in the design, manufacture and sales of electric laboratory and industrial furnaces.

“The excellent market position of Carbolite in the laboratory segment, the high quality standards and the growth potential make Carbolite a very exciting addition to our existing companies”, explains Andries Verder, CEO of the Verder Group. “We firmly believe that the extensive network of Retsch, Eltra and Endecotts will be a large asset for Carbolite.”
