New Brunswick Union

New Brunswick Scientific (NBS) was a premier global manufacturer of laboratory equipment and instrumentation for the life science industry, particularly renowned for its pioneering work in bioreactors and fermentation technology. Founded in 1946, the company became a cornerstone of the biotech sector by providing critical infrastructure for cell culture, including shakers, CO2 incubators, and ultra-low temperature freezers. Its products were instrumental in the development of vaccines and biopharmaceuticals throughout the 20th century. In 2007, the company was acquired by Eppendorf AG, which integrated the NBS product line into its broader portfolio of laboratory solutions.
