Cole-Parmer Instrument Company, LLC.

Cole‑Parmer is a leading global supplier of laboratory equipment and supplies, founded in 1955 by Jerry Cole and John Parmer. The company originally started as a small mail‑order business in a Chicago garage, offering a single product—a variable‑speed stirrer. Over the decades, Cole‑Parmer grew into a major distributor and manufacturer of scientific instruments, consumables, and lab supplies. In 2021, the company was renamed Antylia Scientific, with Cole‑Parmer continuing as a key division and brand. Today, Cole‑Parmer serves pharmaceutical, biopharma, clinical, academic, environmental, industrial, food and beverage, and healthcare sectors worldwide. The company offers a vast portfolio of over 500,000 products from more than 6,000 suppliers, alongside its own branded products including Traceable® thermometers, Cole‑Parmer® Essentials, and ZeptoMetrix®. Cole‑Parmer operates an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited calibration laboratory, providing NIST‑traceable calibration certificates. The company is headquartered in Vernon Hills, Illinois, with global offices in the UK, France, Germany, China, India, and Canada.
