History
Humboldt began operations in 1909 in Chicago, IL in the Humboldt Park neighborhood as a manufacturer of cement testing equipment — establishing from the beginning, a sold reputation for producing high-quality, scientific products, as well as providing excellent customer service. During World War II, Humboldt expanded its manufacturing operations to meet the demand for general laboratory equipment and began manufacturing a line of top-quality labware, which included Bunsen and high-temperature burners. These products were the beginning of Humboldt’s general laboratory equipment line of laboratory burners, stands and clamps. In the past 50 years Humboldt has transformed into the company we are today, focused on the development, manufacturing and distribution of construction materials testing equipment, though the company still manufacturers a line of lab burners.
