In 2016, Anton Paar acquired a product line of Raman benchtop devices from BaySpec Inc. (USA, CA) and licensed the technology for Raman handheld instruments from SciAps Inc. (USA, MA). In 2017, Anton Paar integrated technology for particle size analysis bought from Cilas (France) into the product portfolio. With the acquisition of Quantachrome Instruments (USA) in February 2018 and AXO Dresden in February 2019, Anton Paar further expanded its range of measurement technology in the characterization of pores and porous materials and X-Ray optics. With the purchase of the Brabender GmbH & Co. KG (Germany, 2023, Anton Paar TorqueTec), the portfolio was expanded with special measuring solutions for the characterization of kneading properties and lab extrusion.
