The origin of the Kimble Chase® global footprint began nearly a century ago, when Evan Kimble founded Kimble Glass® Company in Chicago, Illinois. His first products included homeopathic vials, thistle funnels, droppers and medicine tubes. At the end of the First World War, Kimble® introduced its first volumetric laboratory glassware. Since that time, Kimble has been known as the market leader in the manufacture of volumetric glassware.
