75 years old and still going strong...

26 Jan, 2010

Published over 16 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Glassware.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the world’s best known name in jointed glassware.

Quickfit® pioneered interchangeable jointed glassware in 1934 - a time when the traditional method of connecting apparatus was via rubber bungs and corks. Quickfit® glassware was originally made at Kings

Norton, Birmingham, England and, from the outset, the company endeavoured to perfect the quality of the ground joints to ensure leak-free performance.

Today, Quickfit® is still manufactured in the UK at the SciLabware factory in Stone, Staffordshire. The Quickfit® logo can be found on over 1200 items of laboratory glassware including flasks, condensers, fractionating columns and separating funnels. Its reputation for highest quality is maintained and Quickfit® remains the number one choice for scientists throughout the world.

To celebrate the 75th anniversary and to recognise the contribution Quickfit® has made to science and medicine, SciLabware is making a donation to Cancer Research UK.
