In the early 1970's, the first inert atmosphere glove box reached the market.  The need for this type of equipment was rapidly rising, but some facilities were unsatisfied with the available technology.  Two young, skilled and dedicated engineers, Mr. Hellmut Folster and Mr. Gerhard Hinrichs were asked to develop and build a glove box system that would satisfy their higher demands for technology and quality.  After the first system was produced in 1974, it led to the formation of MBraun GmbH.

More than 30 years later, MBraun remains dedicated to the development, manufacture and advancement of inert gas technology.  The reliability of operation and purity of environments quickly earned MBraun the reputation of producing the finest glove boxes available.  The company grew continuously and expanded its sales area from Europe to the United States and Asia.

MBraun is steadily growing and ships more than 800 glove box systems a year.  Our focus shifts from standard products to customized mass production lines with varied levels of incorporated automation.
