PANalytical, Inc.
Company Description
PANalytical is the world's leading supplier of analytical instrumentation and software for X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), and pulsed fast and thermal neutron activation (PFTNA) with more than half a century of experience. The materials characterization equipment is used for scientific research and development, for industrial process control applications and for semiconductor metrology. In the US, PANalytical also represents OBLF for optical emission spectroscopy (OES) systems.
PANalytical was founded in 1948 as part of Philips and was formerly known as Philips Analytical. In 2012 we celebrated our 10th anniversary as PANalytical. PANalytical employs around 1000 people worldwide and has its headquarters in Almelo, the Netherlands.
Fully equipped application laboratories are established in Japan, China, US, Brazil, and the Netherlands. PANalytical's research activities are based in Almelo (NL) and on the campus of the University of Sussex in Brighton (UK). Competence and supply centers are located on two sites in the Netherlands: Almelo (development and production of X-ray instruments) and Eindhoven (development and production of X-ray tubes). A sales and service network in more than 60 countries ensures unrivalled levels of customer support.
The product portfolio includes a broad range of XRD and XRF systems and software widely used for the analysis and materials characterization of products such as cement, metals and steel, nanomaterials, plastics, polymers and petrochemicals, industrial minerals, glass, catalysts, semiconductors, thin films and advanced materials, pharmaceutical solids, recycled materials, and environmental samples.
PANalytical is part of Spectris plc, the precision instrumentation and controls company. The company is certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004.
