Description

Overview

Hach Company, a subsidiary of Veralto since its spin-off from Danaher in 2023, is a global leader in water quality analysis, founded in 1947 by chemists Clifford and Kathryn Hach in Ames, Iowa. Headquartered in Loveland, Colorado, Hach specializes in manufacturing and distributing analytical instruments, reagents, test kits, and software designed to simplify and enhance water testing for lab, process, and field applications. With products serving over 100 countries, Hach’s mission is to ensure water quality for people worldwide by making analysis faster, more accurate, and user-friendly—empowering industries to comply with regulations, optimize processes, and protect public health. The company has grown through innovations like simplified titration methods for water hardness and acquisitions such as Ireland’s Biotector Ltd. in 2014, expanding its portfolio in continuous monitoring technologies.

Key Aspects of Hach Quality

Hach’s reputation for quality stems from its commitment to precision, reliability, and ease of use, backed by rigorous manufacturing standards and a focus on sustainability. Products are engineered to deliver consistent, accurate results in challenging environments, from municipal treatment plants to industrial facilities, adhering to global regulations like EPA and ISO standards. Here’s a breakdown:

• Accuracy and Consistency: Hach’s reagents and chemistries, such as TNTplus® Vial Tests and Chemkey® systems, are produced under stringent conditions to ensure repeatable results, with pre-measured, vacuum-sealed formats that minimize errors and extend shelf life. Instruments like the DR3900 Spectrophotometer and LDO® (Luminescent Dissolved Oxygen) probes feature intuitive interfaces, built-in diagnostics, and no-calibration designs for up to two years, reducing variability and downtime.
• Durability and Innovation: Built for real-world demands, Hach’s portable and online analyzers (e.g., CL17sc Colorimetric Chlorine Analyzer) withstand harsh conditions while integrating digital technologies like real-time data streaming and AI-driven insights for predictive maintenance. This innovation-first approach, rooted in over 75 years of R&D, includes eco-friendly formulations that cut waste and support green compliance, earning Hach a top 15% EcoVadis sustainability rating.
• User-Centric Design and Support: Emphasizing simplicity, Hach systems include step-by-step wizards, multilingual software, and comprehensive technical support, making complex analyses accessible to operators without advanced training. Global manufacturing ensures compatibility across regions, with backward compatibility for legacy systems.
