The brand

High performance, energy efficient and connected solutions for precise treatment and controlled temperature storage.

KW is an Italian brand with a long tradition in temperature controlled technology. For decades, laboratories, research centres and industrial facilities have relied on KW equipment for its precision, durability and unmistakable engineering quality.

What began as a specialist line of scientific instruments has grown into a trusted brand known for mastering both cold and thermostatic control, with the same attention to detail that defined its origins.

Today, KW continues its evolution within Tecnilabo, the Tecniplast Group laboratory division. This integration allows KW to combine its historic expertise with the resources, innovation, and international reach of a larger ecosystem, while preserving the identity and reliability that have always set it apart.
