A combination of the family name “Juchheim” and the word, laboratory. JULABO’s history goes back to Germany in 1926 when Ernst Juchheim, a master engineer of glass instrumentation, invented the world’s first glass contact-thermometer with variable temperature adjustments. In 1967, Ernst Juchheim’s son Gerhard Juchheim founded JULABO in the Black Forest region of Germany to provide liquid temperature control equipment to laboratories and industries. In 1993 the JULABO company expanded its reach to the U.S. with the creation of JULABO USA. The U.S. company is under the direction of Ralph Juchheim, the company’s president. Ralph Juchheim is the son of Gerhard Juchheim and grandson of Ernst Juchheim and remains committed to evolving his family’s legacy in quality, temperature-control solutions for scientific laboratories and industries.
