On November 27, the Anton Paar AMERICAS region celebrated the grand opening of a brand-new laboratory exclusively for Brabender instruments. The approximately 175 square meter laboratory is the latest addition to the AMERICAS Technical Center, located on the Anton Paar USA campus in Ashland, Virginia.
Reinhard Eberl, Regional Director of the AMERICAS, emphasized the importance of this new facility at the opening ceremony: “This lab is an important step for the integration process of Anton Paar TorqueTec and its portfolio into the Anton Paar product family. Customers and employees throughout the region will be able to use these facilities to familiarize themselves with the instruments in the Texture Analysis & Extrusion product line.”
The lab will feature some flagship instruments, including a MetaStation torque rheometer, FarinoGraph flour and dough analyzer, and TwinLab-C extruder. The new space is the 2nd Brabender-only lab, joining the existing facility in Duisburg, Germany.
