Company profile
Dunn Labortechnik GmbH
– how we became what we are –
In October 1982, after 10 years in biomedical sales for different companies in Germany, Peter William Dunn (British) and his wife Hannelore (German) opted for independence and founded the company Dunn Labortechnik und Geräteentwicklung (engl. equipment development).
In February 1992, the company was acquired by the British company J. Bibby & Sons Plc / Barloworld and was subsequently known as Bibby Dunn Labortechnik, but reverted back to its original status of private ownership at the end of September 1994, and is since called Dunn Labortechnik GmbH.
In July 1992 we moved into our own newly built premises in Asbach, between Cologne/Bonn and Frankfurt, from where we deliver laboratory equipment, glassware, and disposables, as well as immunoreagents, substrates, antibodies, plasma and sera to our customers all over Europe and beyond. In addition to our comprehensive and high-quality product portfolio, we are known for reliable and competent service, which is optimized by our large warehouse and our own technical service and support facility.
In 2022, after 40 years as Managing Director, the company founder Mrs. Hannelore Dunn resigned from her position but is still available as experienced consultant for the new management. The new Managing Directors are experienced long standing employees of Dunn Labortechnik: Mrs. Doris Len (23 years Accounting), Dr. Kevin Denkmann and Dr. Hamza Mohammad (both since more than 6 years in Product Management and Marketing). They are supported by a team of highly qualified employees including 2 further scientists and 3 service technicians.
We celebrated our 40th anniversary in the same year and we look forward to continue our good relationship with our loyal customers and valued business partners for many years to come.
Competent | Flexible | Reliable
Our Company Philosophy
Competent support, reliable and flexible service, high-quality products, and fast delivery are the cornerstones of our philosophy.
To meet these demands, we have split Europe into geographical areas, with each area being covered by a dedicated sales support specialist. Apart of administrative and logistics personnel, our team includes four scientists as Product Managers (two of them Managing Directors), and three Service Engineers responsible for technical service and customer support.
Our product portfolio has been carefully chosen to fit the specific needs of the above mentioned customer groups. A large portion of our products is supplied by manufacturers for whom we have exclusive distribution rights for Germany as well as for parts or the whole of Europe and even beyond. All products have to comply to proven quality standards, and the good longstanding relationship with our manufacturing suppliers guarantees a smooth and efficient service for our
customers.
Throughout the year, we participate at some of the most important trade shows such as “Analytica” and “ChemspecEurope”, big scientific conferences such as “TERMIS Europe” and “ECM” as well as various smaller exhibitions and congresses in Germany and the whole of Europe. We issue press releases on new products and developments, and place regular advertisements in major trade papers and important online newsletters/portals.
All our products and services are described on our webpages (www.dunnlab.de), which are constantly being brought up to date with product news, special promotions, and exhibition participation. Furthermore, we have joined the LinkedIn community.
