Asecos : What floorutions for safely storing hazardous materials?

A European leader, Asecos designs safety cabinets for storing hazardous substances. Its solutions for flammable solvents (EN 14470-1, Type 90/30), gas cylinders (EN 14470-2) and acids/alkalis safeguard R&D, quality control and production. Made in Germany, they combine rugged construction, ergonomic design and recirculating filtration or connection to ducted extraction. With Dutscher, they arrive certified, durable and ready to use for pharma/biotech, food & beverage, cosmetics and environmental laboratories.

A European pioneer since the 1990s

Founded in the 1990s in Gründau (Germany), Asecos has focused from day one on chemical risk prevention in the laboratory. Its name nods to “approved security containers” and sets the tone: tested, certified solutions. Early on, the brand helped drive adoption of the EN 14470-1 and EN 14470-2 standards for fire-resistant safety cabinets, then expanded its expertise to acid/base cabinets, ventilated workstations and recirculating filtration. Backed by strong R&D and a proof-driven culture (third-party testing, traceability), it has built subsidiaries and partners across Europe — including France — to bring consultancy, installation and service closer to users. Through the Asecos Academy, it trains users in best practice, reinforcing a clear stance: protect people, facilities and the environment, with zero compromise on compliance.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

Day in, day out, Asecos keeps solvent, reagent and gas handling safe across R&D, QC and production laboratories.
• Cabinets for flammable liquids: multi-layer steel construction, self-closing doors, intumescent seals and Type 90/Type 30 fire resistance to EN 14470-1. Pull-out drawers or spill trays, telescopic runners and clear labelling streamline everyday workflows.
• Cabinets for acids and alkalis: corrosion-resistant materials and sumps, segregated compartments and safe ventilation to prevent cross-reactions.
• Gas cylinder cabinets: restraint systems, integrated ventilation and fire resistance compliant with EN 14470-2, for worry-free supply to benches and analysers.
• Modules for recirculating filtration: capture at source, activated carbon or application-specific media for VOCs and acid vapours, airflow monitoring and simplified maintenance – an energy-saving alternative to full ducting to the outside.
• Emerging needs: dedicated solutions for safe storage/charging of lithium-ion batteries, alarm devices and containment. Why is the brand so widely chosen? Certified, robust and ergonomic products, exhaustive documentation and services (site audit, installation, maintenance) that speed up compliance. With Dutscher, users save time and reduce risk, from pharma/cosmetics labs to food & beverage and environmental testing.
