Officials from both companies met recently at Labconco headquarters to sign a mutually beneficial technology agreement.
Kansas City, MO, Sept. 22, 2022
The best of both worlds – As partners since 2015, Erlab and Labconco have been aligned with a common goal – to improve sustainability within the lab while never compromising on safety. On September 22nd, 2022, both companies took their partnership to the next level, with Erlab agreeing to provide Labconco exclusivity to their GreenFume Hood (GFH) technology. This partnership leverages both companies’ strengths, with Labconco providing the best in fume hood containment and Erlab providing the best in air filtration, detection, and communication technology, completing what is the world’s safest and most energy-efficient fume hood on the market.
In the words of Erlab CEO Stephane Hauville: “The historical relationship between Erlab and Labconco began decades ago between my father, Francois Hauville, and John McConnell. I remember it vividly. It has always seemed natural and unique, with both companies and both men having a great deal of respect for one another. When we decided to embark on a partnership with Labconco in 2015 with the AIRO and ECHO fume hoods using Erlab’s filtration technology, we knew there was something special we could offer to the market. Today the power of both Labconco and Erlab is stronger than ever with a recipe for success firmly focused on growing market acceptance. I am honored to continue the legacy started by my dad and John, with the support and friendship of Laura McConnell-Perin, and our collaborative teams. We could not be more aligned and excited to start the journey of our newly formed exclusive North American partnership, integrating the best of both products in containment design and filtration technology”. Labconco Chairman and CEO Laura Perin said of the announcement, “Energy efficient hoods are a fundamental building block of sustainable infrastructure for institutions that support chemistry labs. This exclusive agreement is part of our active effort to support more sustainable lab designs.”
