Pioneering Laboratory Furniture Manufacturing

As the nature of research progresses, scientists and researchers need access to cutting-edge equipment. However, the optimal performance and longevity of these instruments depend on their accommodation within top-tier laboratory furniture, ensuring their utility and functionality.

This is where Kewaunee Scientific Corporation comes in, providing a wide range of laboratory furniture and technical products designed to meet the unique requirements of modern scientific research. A recognized global leader in the design, manufacture, and installation of laboratory, healthcare, and technical furniture products—ranging from durable and customizable case goods to high-performance and energy-efficient fume hoods—Kewaunee’s offerings provide the ultimate solution and optimal performance for its customers’ scientific equipment.

“We ensure that our products are tailored to the specific requirements of the end-users. Our focus on versatility and flexibility allows us to create furniture solutions that are both functional and visually appealing, ultimately playing a role in enabling our customers success,” says Tom Hull, President & CEO, Kewaunee Scientific Corporation.

Kewaunee’s products enhance collaboration and have adapted to the changing needs of the environment in which they are placed. From bench systems that can be adjusted to suit the individual needs of the user to mobile cabinetry that can be easily repositioned to optimize space utilization, Kewaunee’s commitment to flexibility and collaboration ensures that its furniture solutions enables its customer discovery.

Kewaunee also supports its customers with unparalleled production and distribution capabilities. It is the only company worldwide that produces wood, metal, and resin laboratory furniture in one location.

“Kewaunee maintains a distribution center and several warehouses close to our main campus, giving us the unique capability to manufacture, stage, and deliver products, allowing for greater flexibility and the ability to accommodate the most challenging project timelines,” says Ryan Noble, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Kewaunee Scientific Corporation.

For instance, despite the pandemic-induced supply chain challenges, Kewaunee remained committed to providing exceptional service to meet the evolving customer needs. This involved offering all necessary lab elements under one roof to streamline the process for customers, saving them from dealing with multiple suppliers and ensuring timely project delivery.

Expanding its horizon, Kewaunee has ventured into the healthcare arena with its healthcare brand EVERHUTCH, leveraging its extensive manufacturing capabilities to meet the growing need for products that enable healthcare professionals to better organize their workspaces and operate more effectively. This includes products like procedure carts, cabinets, workbenches, utility carts, and a prep and pack workstation, designed with the flexibility and adjustability needed for the modern healthcare setting and clinical lab space.

Though Kewaunee’s journey began in 1906 as a small manufacturer of wood laboratory furniture, the company’s resilience through various challenges—from world wars to pandemics—through consistent investments in its operations and capabilities has made it a market leader, offering a comprehensive range of quality laboratory products.

Today, with over 900 associates globally, combining close to 120 years of experience and investment in manufacturing and an extensive global network of dealers and distributors, Kewaunee has evolved into the most competitive supplier in the laboratory furniture industry. Headquartered in Statesville, North Carolina, Kewaunee has direct sales offices in, India, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore and manufacturing facilities in Statesville North Carolina and Bangalore, India, serving both the North American and international markets.

Kewaunee’s global reach spans the North and South America, the Middle East and Asia, providing quality products and comprehensive support throughout the construction processes. In all its endeavors, the company remains steadfast in its mission of supporting organizations with the motto “encouraging new discovery…worldwide.”
