PROCESS magazine Vogel Media present the Innovation Award at POWTECH/TechnoPharm.
The award honors the most innovative equipment and processing in several different categories. One of them is: Particle/Material Analysis and Characterization. Since the award was established we applied now 5th time. Three of the four products we applied for so far, made it to the winners rostrum.

2007 we won with our first chemical imaging system.
2008 we made it to the shortlist of the best three with our Kinexus rotational rheometer.
2011 we won again with our Mastersizer 3000.

So expectations for 2013 have …

In 18 years with Malvern I organized close to 40 exhibitions. Some of you might think, I should now be quite relaxed about it. But this is still not the case. I am passionate about creating exhibitions that work, that engage visitors to talk to us and they convey the Malvern “spirit”.
Preparation is always a challenge: a lot comes at short notice and I am sure something has to change last minute and things come up you can’t control.
For this year’s Powtech it was the Lufthansa strike. People helping us …

On the 12th June 2012 Malvern held its first Dispersion Rheology Seminar in Denmark. The 25 attendees heard talks on Rheology Basic Principles and Dispersion stability. The influence of particle size and shape and Zeta potential was also discussed.
A highlight for many of the attendees was practical sessions in the afternoon, where we demonstrated the Kinexus, Mastersizer 3000 and Zetasizer instruments. This was a chance to see the instruments in action measuring customer samples. The feedback from the delegates was very positive and the team is looking forward to running …

Although I’ve now organized half a dozen Achemas and close to 40 exhibitions in total, Achema is still exciting for me, being the biggest chemistry, mechanical engineering, and now biological engineering show in Europe with a worldwide audience.
Preparation has kept me busy for the last few weeks and even last weekend setting up the stand. The whole team was looking forward to Monday morning when the show started. My nerves normally disappear when the stand looks good and the first visitors arrive.
We left the hotel early on Monday morning to …

For the first time ever, Analytica 2012 featured completely equipped labs with daily live demonstrations. From sample preparation and measuring to evaluating the results, visitors had a chance to see the latest techniques and have new products explained during actual operation and discuss individual applications in practice with a selected group of leading international manufacturers.
The goal was to show which combination of systems can be used to test complementary parameters in a comprehensive characterization lab for specific applications. In addition 3 times a day well known polymer researchers gave talks …

I am Renate Hessemann in my role as European Marketing Manager I am responsible for the Analytica Exhibition in Munich, where we welcome visitors from today to Friday. In my years with Malvern I organized a lot of exhibitions and the biennial Analytica is one of my favourites.
Why? Munich in spring time, start of beer garden season gives a special atmosphere, and in addition the layout of the Munich exhibition centre: The “atrium” in the middle between the halls allows a small beer garden to be set up during the …

Hi, my name is Renate and I’m Marketing Manager Europe at Malvern Instruments GmbH. Based in our German headquarters in Herrenberg, I also take care of Malvern’s Facebook page.
This year I find myself wondering which is stronger; my passion for Christmas cookies or for our new Mastersizer 3000.
Christmas cookies are delicious…
Christmas starts for me end of November when I start to bake a lot of typical German Christmas cookies. I admit I can never wait to taste them. Besides, they are always at their best when warm out of the …
