Company History

Our Heritage

Scanacon revolutionized the stainless industry in 1982 when our founders developed the first generation acid analyser. The SA30 radically simplified the complex and time consuming process of measuring free acids and metals in the finishing solution and brought, for the first time, the control of the finishing process from the laboratory to the mill floor. 

Understanding the finishing process and mill operations at it’s grass roots has allowed Scanacon to be on the forefront of innovation, responding to the needs of the market, and simply, understand what works and what doesn't. 

Working alongside our customers, Scanacon has developed an unparalleled understanding of the finishing process for Stainless steels, Titanium, Zirconium and speciality alloys in all of their product forms. Cast or wrought forms, hot or cold worked, flat rolled, long or tubular products, Scanacon has the understanding and experience to deliver value to our customers, no matter what the challenge.

Our passion and entrepreneurial spirit is supported and guided by our owner, Alder II AB, one of the leading sustainable technology investors in the Nordics. As a member of the Alder family, Scanacon will continue to grow and invest in the R&D and people that fuels innovation with a single goal – to supply our customers with the very best in products, services and solutions.

Our experience, driven by the needs of the industry, has helped us help our customers by optimising their finishing processes. It is a heritage we are proud of and commitment we intend to continue without respite.
