Malvern Panalytical is a global leader in materials analysis and characterization solutions, formed by the merger of Malvern Instruments and PANalytical in 2017. As part of the Spectris group, the company develops and manufactures precision instruments that analyze materials’ physical and chemical properties. With over 2,000 employees worldwide, Malvern Panalytical serves industries including pharmaceuticals, mining, chemicals, and advanced materials research. Their solutions enable customers to improve product quality, optimize processes, and accelerate research and development through accurate measurements and expert insights.
Battery Technology
Malvern Panalytical’s analytical solutions support the entire battery manufacturing process, from raw material analysis to final product testing. Their portfolio includes advanced instruments for particle size analysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. These tools are essential for optimizing battery materials and components, including cathodes, anodes, and electrolytes.
The company’s Epsilon Xline system provides real-time monitoring during roll-to-roll production, enabling manufacturers to maintain consistent quality in electrode coating processes. Their Morphologi 4 analyzer examines particle characteristics that influence battery performance, while the Empyrean XRD platform allows scientists to study material changes during battery cycling. These technologies help manufacturers develop more efficient, longer-lasting batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage applications.
Recent Projects
In 2024, Malvern Panalytical expanded its semiconductor metrology capabilities through the acquisition of six XRD products from Freiberg Instruments GmbH. The company also introduced the NanoSight Pro, an advanced nanoparticle tracking system powered by machine learning. Their FORJ system launch improved fusion sample preparation efficiency by 25%, supporting uninterrupted elemental analysis workflows.
Investors
Malvern Panalytical operates as a subsidiary of Spectris plc, a publicly traded company listed on the London Stock Exchange. While specific investor information is not publicly available, the company’s ownership structure includes institutional and individual shareholders through its parent company, Spectris plc.
