Hach To Break Ground On New Facility In Loveland, CO

Loveland-based company Hach is breaking ground on a multimillion dollar research and development facility on its existing two-building campus. The official groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for June 16th, beginning at 11:00 a.m. at the future construction site, south of the facility.

The new building will be approximately 86,000-square feet and it will house state-of-the-art work spaces for Hach’s development teams, with multiple testing and development laboratories. All existing research laboratories and facilities will move into the new building, providing associates with the most advanced equipment and resources while creating room to expand and add associate work spaces in the existing buildings.

“Hach has a great history of innovation, and this investment will ensure we continue to develop state-of-the-art new products, attract great talent and maintain our commitment to customers,” said Kevin Klau, President of Hach. “Cliff and Kitty Hach chose Loveland more than 35 years ago to expand their growing business, and it’s exciting to make this investment in light of Hach’s continued growth.”

Hach’s existing Loveland facilities include two buildings with more than 200,000 square feet that are currently used for manufacturing, research and development, marketing, technical support, customer service and other business functions. More than 750 associates work on the Loveland campus and another 50 are working from leased office space in Fort Collins. This expansion will offer additional space to support Hach’s near-term and anticipated future growth.

“Our commitment to invest in research and development to support Hach’s continued growth helps enable us to keep delivering on our mission to ensure water quality for people around the world,” Klau said.

Members of the press are invited to attend the groundbreaking ceremony. Any questions should be directed to the Barry Lyon, VP of marketing, as there will not be an opportunity for questions during the ceremony.
