Cornish Lithium
"Over the past few years, as Cornish Lithium has expanded, ILS has been our go-to partner for fume cupboards. Having purchased five fume cupboards and integrated scrubber systems to date, we have consistently relied on their expertise to support our evolving operations. Their equipment is robust, reliable, and performs exceptionally well in a demanding environment. ILS has proven to be a trusted partner in our journey."

Martin Dunn

Laboratory Manager, Cornish Lithium

Tata Chemicals
"We recently approached ILS to install a new fume cupboard as part of our lab refurbishment. From the initial site survey to the final commissioning, the process was incredibly efficient. The installation team worked around our schedule to ensure minimal disruption to our work."

Ben Rathbone

Laboratory Analyst, Tata Chemicals

Westland
"We engaged ILS to install two new fume cupboards at our Westland Growing Media Laboratory, a project that presented significant logistical challenges due to restricted roof access for the required ducting. The ILS team handled the complexity with total professionalism, ensuring the entire installation was performed in strict accordance with our site safety policies and height protocols. Despite the physical constraints of the building, the execution was flawless. Since the installation, the fume cupboards have been completely trouble-free, providing our team with a reliable and safe working environment."
