Start-up in the precision engineering cluster
The history of JULABO begins in 1926, when master glass instrument maker Ernst Juchheim applies for a patent for the world's first glass contact thermometer with variable temperature setting during the Weimar Republic.
In the post-war years, the industrially producible product finds many applications, for example in the first heating circulators, in heating cabinets and incubators, and later also in large-scale chemistry.
In the 1960s, Gerhard Juchheim, who was given great responsibility in his father Ernst's Solingen-based company at an early stage, has a vision: he no longer just wants to supply components, but to develop and manufacture complete laboratory circulators for science and research.
He chooses the climatic health resort of Seelbach in the Black Forest as the ideal location - also due to the precision engineering expertise in the region, which is known worldwide for the cuckoo clocks produced here.
The newly founded company >Juchheim Labortechnik KG< is entered in the commercial register in January 1967 and takes off from a double garage.
The first step from "start-up" to innovative temperature control technology specialist with an international reputation is taken.
"I've been selling JULABO units for decades, and even 30 years ago, I was amazed by their quality and longevity. I bet many of those same units are still running perfectly today!"

JULABO temperature control technology continues to conquer new industries and new countries
The beginnings
JULABO's innovative technology initially gave an important boost to analysis in medical laboratories, especially in medical practices in Germany and neighboring countries. Precise temperature control led to faster and more accurate diagnostics tests, which significantly improved the quality of patient care.
Early focus on the global market
Company founder Gerhard Juchheim saw the great potential of his inventions early on and presented them at the leading chemical trade fair Achema in Frankfurt in 1970. And even in this early phase of the company, he began to build up a worldwide sales network with a great deal of personal insert.
Co-evolution with the pharmaceutical industry
At the beginning of the 1980s, JULABO had become an important supplier to the development departments of major German chemical and pharmaceutical companies. This was the beginning of a period in which the designs of temperature control technology and those of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries were mutually beneficial and led to groundbreaking new developments.
Breaking into ever new industries
In the 1990s, JULABO's temperature control technology conquered the material and component testing market, opening up a wide range of completely new industries: from food to aerospace and IT hardware production. This expansion enabled JULABO to establish its technology in ever more diverse application areas and open up new fields of innovation, further consolidating and expanding the company's position as a leading provider of temperature control solutions.
At the same time, a new phase of global expansion began with the founding of JULABO USA.
Foundation of regional offices worldwide
The internationalization strategy was consistently continued in the 2000s - with the establishment of regional offices in the United Kingdom, in Singapore, Japan, Italy, South Korea, China, South America, the Netherlands, and finally India.
Technologically, JULABO has opened up further important fields of application with the design of highly dynamic temperature control systems under the brand name PRESTO.
For example, in the automotive industry, the process industry and pharmaceutical kilo production.
