Your partner in the lab. 4 [email protected] About us BRAND in Wertheim When our company started in 1949, it was an adventure. From practically nothing, Rudolf Brand together with five companions created the foundations of the Wertheimer glass industry. In that same year, he founded our present-day company. Starting from the Wertheim facility, our specialists have steadily built up the company. The effort was well worthwhile! Today, BRAND is an important partner for end users in laboratories around the world. 6 [email protected] About us Factory and Production As the tasks multiplied, we have grown larger. One of the world's largest cleanroom facilities, with ap- prox. 6000 m2 of production space, of which the clean- room makes up 3200 m2. www.brand.de 7 About us Journey through Time Product development over the course of decades. What began in 1949 with 6 employees engaged in producing glass apparatus, glass volumetric measuring instruments, and thermometers, with continuous facilities expansion in the interim, led in 2013 to the commissioning of one of the largest cleanroom facilities in the world.
