When searching for laboratory emulsification and mixing needs, J.L.Lennard made the selection and understanding of what equipment we needed really easy! Using their demonstration facilities running trials of our materials meant a truly ‘seamless’ transition from demonstration trials, purchase of a Silverson mixer, to our laboratory development and subsequent larger scale production manufacture. The whole process and support provided by J.L.Lennard was excellent.

I have worked with J.L.Lennard Pty Ltd and Silverson Mixers in multiple companies for over 6 years.

Dr. Alex Galkin, Senior Executive and Business Leader

After approaching several companies selling similar products relating to our project, I found the prompt and detailed responses I received from J.L.Lennard to be at a level above and beyond the competitors. The sales and technical team are very knowledgeable, helpful and after the purchase of our first unit continued to be a great source of help and advice. I faced few issues with installing and using what I had purchased, due to a very well put together package and documentation to support it. And small problems I did have were promptly and very professionally dealt with.

As such, I had no hesitation in approaching the J. J. Lennard team again to discuss a much larger unit, which is much more complex. Aside from reasonable pricing, the support and advice offered cannot be faulted. I expect to be doing business with J. J. Lennard for any and all things we require, within their scope of expertise, in the future. Advice. Technical prowess. Logistics. Installation. Commissioning. Continued support. It’s all here for me, whenever I need it.
