Pfeiffer Vacuum Receives Milestone Award for Vacuum Technology


was awarded to companies whose developments have signifi cantly infl uenced technology and continue to do so today, during an anniversary gala at the Vogel Convention Center in Würzburg.


Dr Jörg Kempf, Editor-in-Chief of Process, praised Pfeiffer Vacuum in his awards presentation for its customer orientation: “For over 125 years, the company has been living the fascination of vacuum and has distinguished itself not only through its technology, but especially through its feel for the diverse requirements of the relevant industries – from vacuum generation to leak detection.” In the process industry, Pfeiffer Vacuum’s cutting-edge vacuum solutions set standards time and again, he said during the award ceremony.


Pfeiffer Vacuum receives milestone award for vacuum technology.


The trade magazine, Process, has taken its 25th anniversary as an opportunity to present some of the most important technologies from this period in a series of milestones. In this context, vacuum specialist Pfeiffer Vacuum received the milestone award for vacuum technology, one of a total of 16 award-winning categories. The prize


“We are delighted to receive this award. We regard it as recognition of the fact that we develop tailor-made solutions together with our customers. Our aim is always to make our customers more successful,” said Wolfgang Bremer, Head of the Industrial Vacuum Product Group at Pfeiffer Vacuum, who accepted the award at the gala.

The HPLC conference will celebrate its 50th edition in beautiful San Diego, an exciting biotech hub along the dramatic Pacifi c coastline. Join in for a dynamic program where experts will address the latest scientifi c and technological advances, critical and emerging applications and technologies and challenges and solutions covering all aspects of liquid-phase analytical separations from basic research to practice. Technologies include all types of HPLC, 2DLC, electrophoresis, micro- and nanofl uidics, bead-based extraction and coupling separations to mass spectrometry. Topics broadly include medicine, biology, environment, manufacturing, agriculture and the science underlying separation processes. Special emphasis will be on the life sciences.


Ground-breaking Ceremony Marks Start of Huber Expansion


“With our products, we are an ecological pioneer in environmental protection,” Joachim Huber added. “In addition to refrigeration, we also organise our business processes from the purchase of goods to production as environmentally friendly and as resource-effi cient as possible.” Numerous energy-saving measures have already been implemented at the Offenburg Tango Factory.


The new building will be in no way inferior to this: the large windows will be triple-glazed and the building envelope provided with a high-performance insulation. Environmentally-friendly heating will take place via a vacuum and sump well system, which uses near-surface groundwater to recover heat and later return


Mark your calendar to attend HPLC 2020 on 20-25 June 2020 in San Diego, the largest and highly recognised international conference in the liquid-phase separation science and analysis world, shaping the future of separation science.

GPCR Biosensors Receive RSRI Award


Biopharmaceutical company Domain Therapeuticsa developer of drug candidates targeting G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCR) in neurology, oncology and rare diseases, has received, together with Professor Michel Bouvier, the RSRI award from the Association des Directeurs de Recherche Industrielle du Quebec (ADRIQ) at the Innovation Prize gala.

On 4 December Peter Huber Kältemaschinenbau AG marked the offi cial start of construction for another expansion of its headquarters in Offenburg-Elgersweier with a ground-breaking ceremony. Having recently completed the new administration building, the family business is now investing in expanding its production capacity thanks to stable growth. Architect Wilhelm Kasten and Kenzingen- based Freyler Industriebau will be handling the construction and design of the new building. A 4,500 m² production hall and 600 m² of additional offi ce and social space are planned. Completion is scheduled for spring 2021.


Huber Kältemaschinenbau is one of the leading providers of high- precision temperature control solutions for use in research and industry. At the Tango factory headquarters in Offenburg, the family company currently employs about 360 people. The successful SME’s developments have been honoured several times as TOP 100 Innovator and as Innovator of the Year.


“It shows that our strategic orientation and specialisation in our core competency for high-precision temperature control technology have been right. We are investing heavily in basic research in our fi eld, for example with the Universities of Offenburg and Karlsruhe,” Daniel Huber commented.


Created in 2019, this award, presented by the nine Regroupement Sectoriel de Recherche Industrielle in Quebec (RSRIs), illustrates the strength of the bonds between the research community and industry. It also highlights the signifi cant impact of a collaborative research project on the Quebec economy through the creation of new jobs.

it to the natural cycle after a part of the heat energy has been extracted. This process is combined with activating a concrete core to store the heat. Controlled ventilation also reduces energy losses. Electricity is generated by a photovoltaic system on the roof of the building. “By doing this, we are not only fulfi lling our environmental responsibility with our products, but also embodying them in our company buildings,” Daniel Huber said.


The new building will blend well into the line of existing buildings. Alone, the transparent façade will be a visual eye-catcher and the green roof will meet all environmental requirements. The hall building will be built using a slim, wide-span steel structure, something where Freyler can contribute its own particular expertise.

The technology, in-licensed by Domain Therapeutics in 2013 from University of Montreal, benefi ted from a €1.8 million investment from the Consortium Québécois sur la Découverte Du Médicament (CQDM) over three years and the expertise of a consortium of Canadian researchers: Professor Michel Bouvier and Dr Christian Le Gouill (IRIC – Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer at the University of Montreal), Professor Graciela Pineyro (research center, Sainte-Justine Hospital), Professor Stéphane Laporte and Professor Terry Hebert (McGill University), and Professor Richard Leduc (Sherbrooke University).


Developing the potential uses of this technology through its Montreal based-subsidiary Domain Therapeutics NA Inc. (DTNA), the company designs biosensors for GPCR-acting treatments and applications to other membrane receptors.


“We are honoured to be awarded this prize, recognising the successful collaboration between our company and the consortium led by Professor Michel Bouvier,” said Pascal Neuville, CEO, Domain Therapeutics. “This prize highlights the quality of research in Quebec and particularly in Montreal. Domain Therapeutics is very pleased to have turned such groundbreaking innovation into a value-creation business.”
