Founded on German engineering principles and recognised internationally for the manufacture of premium laboratory furniture and containment systems, Köttermann UK Ltd. delivers technically advanced laboratory fit-out solutions for research, development, and high-performance industrial environments.
Köttermann UK specialises in the design, supply, installation and commissioning of laboratory furniture, fume cupboards, and associated infrastructure for pharmaceutical, research, education and advanced technology sectors throughout the UK and Ireland.
The company has developed increasing involvement within the battery technology sector, supporting facilities focused on the design and manufacture of high-performance batteries for electric vehicle (EV) applications. Köttermann UK has successfully completed the installation and commissioning of a specialist battery technology facility and is currently involved in the development of additional laboratory concepts and technical environments within the rapidly expanding battery and energy storage market.
Köttermann laboratory furniture systems are manufactured predominantly from high-grade steel, providing exceptional structural strength, rigidity and durability when compared with traditional laboratory furniture materials. The steel construction offers high resistance to chemical attack, corrosion, moisture ingress and mechanical impact, making the systems particularly suitable for demanding battery research, pilot production and technical development environments.
The modular system design also supports future flexibility and laboratory reconfiguration, enabling facilities to adapt efficiently as technologies and process requirements evolve. Smooth, non-porous surfaces assist with cleanliness, contamination control and long operational life.
In parallel with laboratory furniture systems, Köttermann UK supplies high-performance fume cupboards and containment solutions engineered to optimise both safety and energy efficiency. The systems incorporate advanced airflow management, intelligent monitoring and Variable Air Volume (VAV) technology to maintain containment performance whilst minimising energy consumption and operational costs.
Technical features include automatic sash management, airflow monitoring systems, low-volume air operation and Siemens-based control technology, providing high levels of operational reliability and user safety. These systems are particularly suited to battery research and development applications where ventilation performance, environmental control and operator protection are critical.
Recognising the increasing importance of lithium-ion battery safety, Köttermann UK can also support facilities with specialist safety storage solutions designed for the secure storage and management of lithium batteries and associated hazardous materials.
Köttermann UK works collaboratively with end users, consultants, architects and contractors to deliver fully integrated laboratory environments from concept development through to installation and commissioning. Combining German manufacturing quality with technical expertise and practical project delivery experience, Köttermann UK continues to support clients operating at the forefront of battery technology, advanced manufacturing and scientific innovation.
