• During World War II, Humboldt expanded its manufacturing operations to meet the demand for general laboratory equipment and began manufacturing a line of top-quality labware, which included Bunsen and high-temperature burners. These products were the beginning of Humboldt’s general laboratory equipment line of laboratory burners, stands and clamps.

  and distribution of construction materials testing equipment, though the company still manufacturers a line of lab burners.
