History
In 1906, a handful of investors with a vision hired 18 workers and
formed what is today the Kewaunee Scientific Corporation. Their
goal was ambitious: build a superior line of laboratory furniture
and accessories. Until the early 1900's America relied on Europe,
and particularly Germany, for the bulk of its laboratory equipment.
But after World War I the American scientific industry began to
gain ground at Kewaunee, we grew rapidly. We expanded our market
with an elaborate dealer organization. By the end of 1920's we were
building both steel and wood laboratory furniture and accessories.
During World War II, we were a government contractor for the Air
Corps, and an important supplier for the Manhattan Project. After
the war, America experienced a technological explosion resulting in
increased demand for scientific laboratory equipment. Kewaunee
responded by building its present facilities in Statesville, North
Carolina and its staff of experienced people. A lot has changed in
almost 90 years but not the original goal: to build a superior line
of laboratory furniture, the best that can be built.
