Anton Paar to buy Brabender


Austrian analytical equip- ment maker Anton Paar has acquired Duisburg, Germa- ny-based Brabender, which manufactures measurement and process engineering solutions including rheom- eters and both single and twin screw extruders for plastics. The company will be


integrated into the Anton Paar Group under the Anton Paar TourqeTec name and the acquisition will be retro- active to 1 January, 2023. “The decisive factor for


Anton Paar’s decision to purchase Brabender was the know-how in the development and produc- tion of world-leading measuring instruments,” said Anton Paar CEO Dr Friedrich Santner. “In line with its own long-term strategy, Anton Paar will sustainably expand and further strengthen Brabender’s sites in Duis- burg and Hackensack (US),” he said. �www.anton-paar.com �www.brabender.com

EU BPA restrictions temporarily on hold


Following the end of a six-month public consulta- tion in June this year, Germany’s Federal Office for Chemicals (BfC) has temporarily withdrawn a proposal submitted to the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) for further restric- tions on the use of bisphe- nol A (BPA) and similar bisphenols. According to the German

authority, substantial new data was submitted as part of the consultation leading it to conclude that significant re-drafting of the underlying logic of the proposed restrictions is necessary. Following the re-drafting, the new proposals will be resubmitted and go through a new round of scrutiny and consultation. �www.echa.europa.eu
