Hach LANGE Advances Water Quality Analysis with Innovation

Water, the foundation of life and civilization, faces unprecedented challenges in the modern era. Rapid industrialization and population growth have intensified water pollution, scarcity, and safety concerns worldwide. In this critical context, HACH LANGE has emerged as a global leader in water quality analysis, redefining monitoring standards through cutting-edge technology and comprehensive solutions.

The HACH LANGE legacy originates from two pioneering companies: Germany's Dr. Bruno Lange GmbH and America's HACH Inc., both renowned for their groundbreaking contributions to water analysis.

Founded in early 20th century Berlin by scientist-entrepreneur Dr. Bruno Lange, the company revolutionized photometric water analysis. Its high-precision photometers became industry benchmarks, establishing fundamental methodologies still used today.

Established in 1930s Colorado by chemist Clifford Hach, the firm pioneered electrochemical water testing instruments. Its sensitive, reliable devices transformed industrial and municipal water monitoring capabilities.

The 2000 merger created a technological powerhouse combining photometric and electrochemical expertise. Today, with 2,500+ employees worldwide, HACH LANGE maintains research centers across Germany, France, Switzerland, the United States, and China, ensuring continuous innovation in water analysis technology.

HACH LANGE's international presence spans 22 European countries through subsidiaries and extensive partner networks, with strategic expansions into Greece (2007) and Croatia (2008).

• Germany: Photometric instruments and reagents
• France: Electrochemical sensors
• Switzerland: Online monitoring systems
• United States: Portable analyzers
• China: Localized product development

The company emphasizes region-specific adaptations, including localized product configurations, technical support teams familiar with regional water characteristics, and responsive maintenance services. This approach ensures optimal performance across diverse water quality conditions and regulatory environments.
