What Nexopart does

Nexopart GmbH & Co. KG, based in Oelde, Germany with a secondary production site in Gersthofen, develops and supplies laboratory equipment and software for particle size and shape analysis of powders and bulk materials. The company was established on April 1, 2023 as a 50/50 joint venture between Haver & Boecker oHG (founded 1887, Oelde) and Hosokawa Alpine AG (Augsburg), combining over 80 years of test sieve manufacturing experience with over 60 years of air-jet sieving expertise. Its product portfolio covers the full particle analysis workflow: sample division (riffle and rotating dividers), sieve analysis (e200 LS air jet sieve, EML electromagnetic shaker, UWL heavy-duty shaker, RO-TAP, and precision test sieves), dynamic image analysis (CPA 2-1, CPA 2-1 ONLINE, INLINE), ultrasonic cleaning devices (USC series), and evaluation software (eControl and CpaServ) with LIMS, 21 CFR Part 11 audit trail, and balance integrations.

The company targets laboratories across four primary verticals — chemical and pharmaceutical, construction materials, mining and minerals, and broader industrial manufacturing (abrasives, food, pigments, recycling) — as well as research and education institutions. Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales, tiered software subscriptions (eControl LITE/BASIC/ULTIMATE/SECURITY, CpaServ PROFESSIONAL/EXPERT), consumables such as test sieves and cleaning accessories, and service offerings including calibration, certification, repair, and training. GTM combines direct enterprise sales with technical consultation and a 24/7 e-shop, complemented by a global network of authorized distribution and service partners covering 18 countries across Europe, Asia, the Americas, Oceania, and Africa. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds ISO 9001:2025 certification (since 2024) and operates GDPR- and EU Machinery Directive–compliant processes, with NEXOPART trademarks registered in Germany, the EU, the UK, and the US.

Core offering

Nexopart develops, manufactures, and sells laboratory equipment and evaluation software for particle size and shape analysis of powders and bulk materials. Its portfolio covers the complete particle analysis workflow: sample division (riffle and rotating dividers), sieving analysis (air jet sieves, electromagnetic and mechanical sieve shakers, test sieves), dynamic image analysis systems (CPA 2-1 laboratory unit, CPA 2-1 ONLINE, INLINE conveyor system), and supporting evaluation software (eControl, CpaServ) and ultrasonic cleaning devices.

Product overview

NEXOPART is a unified product portfolio platform for particle analysis in laboratories, launched in April 2023 as a joint venture between Haver & Boecker oHG and Hosokawa Alpine AG. The offering integrates hardware and software solutions organized around three core stages: Sample Division (riffle and rotating dividers), Sieving Analysis (e200 LS air jet sieve, EML electromagnetic shaker, UWL heavy-duty shaker, RO-TAP, and precision test sieves), and Dynamic Image Analysis (CPA 2-1 laboratory unit, CPA 2-1 ONLINE, and INLINE conveyor belt system). Supporting products include ultrasonic cleaning devices (USC series), evaluation software packages (eControl and CpaServ), and calibration services with the BSA measuring device. The ecosystem enables end-to-end particle analysis workflows from sample preparation through measurement, evaluation, and documentation.
