AZO Liquids
AZO Liquids GmbH was founded in 2008 as Zoatec GmbH by a group of engineers with decades of experience in liquid and semi-solid processes. Since then, AZO has continued to improve its products and adapt them to future requirements of the market and customers. AZO is open to new ideas and has the courage to convert them into innovative systems for dispersing, mixing and homogenizing liquid and semi-solid products.

"Van Hall Larenstein approached us for a flexible pilot installation in their new laboratory," says Dieter Reischmann, area sales manager at AZO. "The aim is the production of emulsions and suspensions. Together the requirements were discussed and a suitable solution was found. AZO Liquids is pleased with this collaboration, because this will have a positive effect for both partners. We expect the university college to train many good students, who can become our customers later on. In addition, Van Hall Larenstein will use the pilot plant for research purposes for the industry with which new applications can be found. "
