Since 1864 the guiding line of the family owned SCHMIDT + HAENSCH is to combine tradition with high quality innovation. Since the introduction of new reference methods in the sugar industry, the company is a leading producer of analysing instruments. The main emphasis lays on the analysis in the laboratory, comprising manless analysing automats as well as data acquisition systems for the laboratory. Development, production and distribution of “classical” laboratory instruments is one of the branches of SCHMIDT + HAENSCH. Another branch are the so called “intelligent process sensors”. Differences in the concentration of liquids of various provenience can be measured directly with a process refractometer. Also additional parameters like turbidity and other proofs specific to the substance can be determined with high reliability. Cross-linking laboratory instruments according to the customers requirements completes the pretentious product scale of SCHMIDT + HAENSCH.
