Laboratory Division

We have been a recognized industry leader in laboratory washing equipment for over 45 years.

Argonne National Labs became our first customer in this arena, when in 1955 it ordered two stainless steel washers to clean animal cages. That request spurred the development of out Laboratory Division, which today manufactures washing equipment for Laboratories, Universities, and Hospitals throughout the world.

Girton understands that every laboratory facility has unique requirements. That's why we employ an in-house engineering department capable of responding to your specific needs. In fact, throughout the history of this division, Girton has responded to ever-changing, increasingly stringent sanitation standards through pioneering innovation and cutting-edge technology.
