Orthodyne, Gas Chromatography

We are a leading company active in the gas chromatography sector. We started as a family business and today, from our headquarters in Alleur (Belgium), we export around 95% of our production. This can be achieved via national sales and distributors on every continent. In addition, we work in cooperation with all major producers and suppliers of industrial gas throughout the world. We started in the 1920s manufacturing wireless radio sets. Now, we evolved into a whole new field of technology and innovation. For almost 30 years our company was involved in the wireless business, but this dwindled in the early 1950s as transistor radios imported from America brought the curtain down on the firm's wireless activities. We then began producing appliances to measure impurities in argon used for welding. These chromatographs were fitted with a detector using high frequency discharges to serve in steel plants in the Liege region of Belgium. Our product range grew to include new high purity detectors for industrial and laboratory applications. We played a ‘pioneering role' in this field, following this up by further broadening our product range and developing in-house analytical software and our own ‘engineering' department among others.
