Reologica AB News

This item is several months old, but I only heard about it this weekend.  Reologica AB, the last independent rheometer maker, is "in administration" as of March 23rd.  The announcement is on the website at Reologica.com.  Malvern has purchased some of the remaining assets, and will continue to service Reologica instruments.  As mentioned at the top, all current rotational rheometer companies are now divisions of larger conglomerates.  This is a process that has been going on since the mid '90's and is finally finished.  The rheometer brands have been distributed as follows...

• Carrimed and Rheometrics are part of TA Instruments.
• Bohlin is part of Malvern.
• Physica is part of Anton Paar.
• Haake is part of ThermoFisher.

My condolences to all who lost their jobs.
