C. Gerhardt GmbH & Co. KG is a leading global developer and manufacturer of analytical systems for animal feed, food, raw materials and plant material. Since 1846, the company has been offering solutions for nitrogen and protein determination, fat determination, fiber analysis as well as chemical digestions and distillations. Headquartered in Königswinter and with a global presence in over 90% of the world's markets, C. Gerhardt stands for reliability, precision and continuous service orientation.
Gerhardt offers specialized analysis devices for protein and nitrogen determination, especially for Kjeldahl analysis in the environmental and food industry. The product range extends from semi-automatic devices to fully automated systems such as the carousel, which analyzes up to 20 samples in one run. The focus here is on user-friendliness: samples are inserted and the results are available immediately after analysis. This comprehensive range covers the needs of modern laboratories and offers efficient solutions for complex analyses.
Gerhardt stands for the highest quality and production to German standards. The company manufactures all its appliances entirely in Königswinter near Bonn and is a third-generation family business. These values are reflected in the production process, which is designed to be sustainable and energy-efficient. In addition, product development is carried out exclusively in Germany, which makes the appliances durable and reliable. The close connection to the region and the repatriation of production processes from abroad underline the company's commitment to domestic value creation.
In addition to the Kjeldahl analysis, Gerhardt offers the innovative Dumas analysis as a chemical-free alternative. This method enables environmentally friendly nitrogen and protein determination by combustion, ideal for the environmental sector. The Dumas device, an in-house development by Gerhardt, was presented at analytica and impresses with its state-of-the-art technology and efficiency. It complements the classic Kjeldahl method and offers laboratories a flexible and sustainable solution for demanding analyses.
As a medium-sized company, Gerhardt has positioned itself in the laboratory technology niche and impresses with continuous innovation. With a broad portfolio that also includes fully automated fat analysis and extraction systems, Gerhardt pursues the goal of making laboratory operations more efficient and environmentally friendly.
