About us

Your partner in chemistry automation

Skalar is a Dutch company, established in 1965 as a producer of analyzers for the laboratory and process industry.

It has since grown into a multinational organization with its own subsidiaries in most European countries, North America & India and with over eighty representatives throughout the world.

Our organization is daily focused on servicing and providing the best application support to existing and potential users. Skalar analyzers are reliably servicing small and large routine laboratories, annually handling sample numbers of a few hundred up to hundreds of thousands.

With over thirty years of experience in automating wet chemistry analysis procedures, the Skalar ISO 9001 certified organization has built up a wealth of knowledge and has generated a vast library of information and techniques which support well proven applications. This knowledge, in the form of application notes, methodology books, technical brochures, etc., is widely made available. In recent years Skalar's own continuing research and development has added many new innovative analyzers to its product range. The new and existing range of Skalar analyzers have proven to be the most reliable and economical choice in today's modern routine laboratory.

Our Core Values

From Global Excellence to United Purpose

In laboratories around the world, progress depends on precision. Whether it’s protecting water supplies, ensuring food safety and product quality, or minimizing industrial pollution, accurate results are the foundation for meaningful decisions.

For decades, the specialist companies that now form Velaris have advanced scientific analysis in their own fields. Each built a strong reputation long before coming together – recognized for technical excellence, trusted customer relationships, and deep application expertise.

Today, as Velaris, we move forward under one unified identity with a clear purpose: to become the most trusted and innovative provider of laboratory automation systems.

By bringing together global expertise and the shared values that guide how we work, we deliver consistent, reliable experiences for every customer. Together, we advance automation technology for the laboratories that protect people, accelerate science, and shape the future.

More than just market leading laboratory solutions

We believe it is important to invest in the craftsmanship and continued professional development both within our company and across the industries we serve.
