High-Tech in the service of quality and safety Throughout the world the demands pla­ ­ ced by consumers on the quality and sa­­f­­e­­ty of products are continually increas­ ing. In order to meet these demands, ins­ ­ truments and methods are necessary that allow to detect even the smallest tra­­ of ces substances. Metrohm is a worldwide leading manufac­ turer of precision instruments for che­­ cal mi­­ analysis. In the field of electrochemical ion analysis we have been the unchallenged world number one for many years. But we offer much more than just instruments. In our laboratories we...

Independence is the key to free decision-making The history of our company starts in 1943. That was when the engineer Bertold Suhner started constructing technical ap­ ­ paratus in Herisau, Switzerland. Bertold Suhner was a brilliant inventor. Among other things he constructed radios, oscil­ loscopes and teraohmmeters, i.e. instru­ ments with which extremely high electri­ cal resistances can be measured. We have been just as logical in developing and manufacturing our products all by ourselves. The know-how and the tech­ nology required to do this are quite sub­ stantial. But it’s well...

Ideas grow where the climate is right Whoever comes to us, stays with us: A survey conducted in 2013 by ValueQuest among our employees revealed results for job satisfaction and motivation clearly above average levels achieved by comparable corporations. A company is only as good as its emplo­ ­ es. ye Anyone who understands this will do his utmost to ensure his employees‘ well-being. At Metrohm the conditions are optimal for this. Flat hierarchies and short distances encourage an open atmosphere. We place our confidence in the highly motivated people, who work for us and offer them...

The complete spectrum of electrochemical analysis – and more Metrohm instruments make work easier wherever electrochemical analyses are involved. Complicated analyses can be carried out quickly with maximum precision thanks to our instruments, and can also be fully automated if necessary. Modular design enables straightforward configuration of customized ­ ystems. Our portfo­ s lio at a glance: • pH meters, ion meters, conductometers • Potentiometric, thermometric and Karl Fischer titration • Dosing of liquids – liquid handling • Polarography, voltammetry and CVS • Ion chromatography •...

The future is what you make of it «The superior usability of our laboratory software is due to the fact that our chemists took part in the design right from the start. We couldn’t have developed a comparable product with an external service provider.» Dieter Strohm CTO Metrohm Group We develop all our instruments, software, and accessories ourselves. This is because we are convinced that only if we keep our know-how inhouse will we be capable to produce innovations in the future and retain our competitive edge. A couple of figures illustrate the high pri­ ority that we give to the...

We set standards We have always been known for innova­ tions that make a difference in the labora­ tories of our customers. One example from titration is the 855 Robotic Titro­ sampler. At the time when it was intro­ duced, it was the first instrument integrat­ ing a titrator and an autosampler in a single, space saving unit. Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation (MISP) is another good example. In­­ tegrating automated sample preparation into our ion chroma­ to­ raphs saves time and costs while in­ g ­ creasing reliability of the results produ­ ed. c The list of our innovations can easily be...

Outsourcing? For us only the second-best solution Since our foundation more than 70 years ago, we have been manufacturing exclu­ sively at our headquarters in Herisau. In times in which whole industries are shift­ ing production to supposedly cheaper lo­ ­ cations abroad, we are still producing here with a unique manufacturing depth: We turn and mill all the components for our instruments ourselves. We manufac­ ture our own print­ d circuit boards for the e control electronics, the columns for our ion chromatographs, and the glass mem­ branes for our electrodes. We even have our own...

1600 applications for every need Metrohm instruments and applications can be found in almost every industry. In the electronics industry, for instance, our CVS systems are used for the monitoring of copper bath constituents that largely determine the quality of the plating pro­ cess in PCB production. Another ­ xample e is ­ nvironmental analysis. In this field, one e of the major issues is to ensure drinking water quality. With our instruments it is pos­ible to determine, for example, con­ s tents of ­oxic heavy metals down to the t lower ppt level. Dimensions become ­clea­­­­rer if one...

We don‘t make the cheaper instruments but the better ones In a competition driven solely by price, quality will inevitably suffer. Therefore, we don’t even get involved in this type of competition. However, our products and services are the first choice for all those, who demand uncompromising quality at a reasonable price. It starts with the fact that we have not outsourced our production, but keep it at our headquarters in Herisau. On top of this comes our manufacturing depth. Our customers can rely on the fact that virtually ­ 100 percent of the components of a M ­ etrohm instrument have...

Our most valuable asset is the confidence of our customers We offer our customers the best in ser­ vice. Actually, this goes without saying, because we only market our equipment directly, and we therefore know every customer personally. We guarantee fast, professional mainte­ nance and repair service through our Support Centers and Sales Agencies. Our decentralized warehouses ensure that spare parts are available worldwide within the shortest possible time. We also guar­ antee that all parts will continue to be available for at least ten years after the instrument itself is taken from the...
