  2. About Us Kewaunee combines manufacturing and infrastructure expertise with industry 4.0 technologies to deliver next-generation laboratories to our clients. From our humble beginnings in 1906, we have grown to be a global leader in the design and manufacture of laboratory furniture. Today, we are proud to be a de facto choice for complete turnkey laboratory solutions. Over 5,000 customers trust us for our technological innovation to build labs of the future.

  3. Our HistoryIn the early 1900s, Europe, and particularly Germany, led the laboratory equipment and furniture market in the United States. A handful of investors, wanting to change the situation, gathered in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, USA. The group was small. But the vision was big. A vision to “to build a superior line of laboratory furniture, the best that can be built”. In 1906, the vision translated into Kewaunee Manufacturing Company with an 18-member team. After World War I, the American scientific industry began to gain ground, and Kewaunee grew rapidly. By the end of the 1920s, Kewaunee was building both steel and wood laboratory furniture and accessories. Kewaunee’s association with the organisations and institutions in the USA grew stronger. During World War II, Kewaunee was a government contractor for the Air Corps and an important supplier for the Manhattan Project.

  4. BSL Services Microbiological labs deal with harmful and infectious agents. Facilities dealing with hazardous pathogens must take extreme precautions to prevent infection of microbiologists and lab technicians. Adequate precautions are also necessary to limit the contamination of the work environment and the community at large. Kewaunee offers a complete range of microbiological laboratory services ranging from risk assessment to quarantine and isolation wards.

  5. WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION GUIDELINES BSL 1 Labs: BSL-1 labs are used to study infectious agents or toxins not known to consistently cause disease in healthy adult humans or animals. BSL 2 Labs: BSL-2 laboratories are used to study moderate-risk infectious agents or toxins that pose a moderate danger if accidentally inhaled, swallowed, or exposed to the skin. BSL 3 Labs: BSL-3 laboratories are used to study infectious agents or toxins that may be transmitted through the air and cause potentially lethal infections. BSL 4 Labs: BSL-4 laboratories are used to study infectious agents or toxins that pose a high risk of aerosol-transmitted laboratory infections and life-threatening disease for which no vaccines or therapies are available.
