Dealing with vials and ampoules

The Lincolnshire-based business, which won a Queens Award for Enterprise in 2006, has developed equipment which it supplies to laboratories, hospitals, universities and research institutes worldwide.

“Since we produced the first simple devices over 25 years ago, we have used customer feedback to keep upgrading and improving the range,” said managing director John Rinfret. “We now have models to suit every type and size of operation, with many new features.”

Balcan’s equipment is built to handle glass or plastic vials, ampoules and small bottles, with or without liquid contents.
