Laboratory furniture. Superior durability. Maximum hygiene.
Laboratory furniture is the foundation for safe, efficient, and long-lasting work processes in laboratories, cleanrooms, and sensitive production areas. Our laboratory furnishings, made from 13 mm-thick solid-core HPL panels, combine the highest material quality with functional design and meet the requirements of modern laboratory environments. Sturdy, moisture-resistant, and extremely resilient to mechanical stress, they offer a durably reliable solution for demanding workstations.
The seamless construction, free of concealed edges or hard-to-reach areas, allows for easy and thorough cleaning. As a result, our laboratory furniture meets the highest hygiene standards and creates optimal conditions for GMP-compliant work areas. Customizable configurations, well-thought-out storage solutions, and ergonomic workstations can be precisely tailored to your requirements and workflows.
Custom-designed and functional. Laboratory furniture for the highest standards.
Every laboratory has unique requirements for furnishings, work processes, and material durability. That’s why we develop custom-made laboratory furniture solutions that adapt flexibly to your construction project and workflows. Whether it’s laboratory workstations, base cabinets, tall cabinets, utility units, or mobile elements—all components are functionally designed and precision-manufactured.
The 13 mm-thick HPL solid-core panel impresses with its high impact and scratch resistance, moisture resistance, and its closed, non-porous surface. It is resistant to many chemicals, easy to clean, and permanently hygienic. Thanks to the solid-core construction, there are no open or concealed edges where dirt or germs can accumulate. This simplifies daily cleaning and helps ensure compliance with stringent hygiene and GMP guidelines.
In addition to its high functionality, our laboratory furniture stands out for its modern, timeless design and durable quality. High-quality hardware, customizable features, and precise craftsmanship result in laboratory furnishings that combine cost-effectiveness, safety, and design at the highest level.

Frequently asked questions about lab furniture
Yes—provided that the design, surface quality, cleanability, and furniture concept are tailored to the requirements of the respective GMP area.
The HPL material itself is not “GMP-certified.” GMP compliance results from the combination of material selection, design, cleanability, documentation, and use in a validated process.
We focus on key design features during implementation:
- Smooth, easily accessible surfaces
- Minimizing areas where dirt and particles can accumulate
- Hygienic transitions and clean edge solutions
- Areas that are easily accessible for cleaning and inspection
- Clear separation of work and storage areas
Laboratory areas often require connections for water, electrical power, and gas. That is why we customize our laboratory furniture to meet the technical requirements of each specific application. Every setup is planned to meet the customer’s specific needs and is precisely tailored to the desired workflows and local conditions.
Depending on the application and customer requirements, we equip our laboratory furniture with high-quality work surfaces made of ceramic, HPL, or stainless steel. This ensures the optimal combination of functionality, durability, and design.
Sturdy, hygienic, and durable: HPL countertops are the ideal solution for demanding laboratory environments.
They offer high resistance to:
- moisture
- disinfectants
- alcohols
- numerous cleaning chemicals
As a result, their functionality and appearance are permanently preserved even with intensive use and regular wet cleaning. This makes HPL a reliable and cost-effective choice for modern laboratories.

Laboratory furniture for safe, efficient, and future-proof laboratories.
Laboratory furniture is a central component of any professional laboratory setup. Whether in research facilities, the pharmaceutical industry, chemistry labs, educational institutions, or corporate quality control—the demands placed on modern laboratory furniture are high. It must be durable, ergonomic, and functional, while also being optimally adapted to the respective work processes.
At Schäfer Einrichtungssysteme, we manufacture modern laboratory furniture at our facility in Horhausen that creates the conditions necessary for safe and precise work. Through well-structured workstation concepts, robust materials, and flexible configuration options, workflows can be designed to meet specific goals and laboratory productivity can be sustainably increased.
Every laboratory is unique. From lab benches to cabinet and shelving systems to complete laboratory setups, we can perfectly tailor all elements to the spatial conditions and specific requirements.
Safety is what matters most. It is the top priority in laboratory operations. Our high-quality laboratory furniture features durable surfaces and sturdy construction that reliably withstand daily wear and tear. At the same time, ergonomic workstations make it easier to work while sitting or standing and help reduce strain on employees. Well-designed laboratory furnishings also support compliance with applicable safety standards and ensure structured work areas with short pathways and optimal storage solutions.
Since laboratory furniture is exposed to various chemical, thermal, and mechanical stresses on a daily basis, special materials are used that are particularly durable and easy to maintain. Chemical-resistant countertops, corrosion-protected metal frames, and high-quality surfaces ensure a long service life and consistently high functionality. Choosing the right materials plays a crucial role in reducing maintenance costs and increasing the long-term security of your investment.
Successful laboratory design begins with careful planning. At Schäfer Einrichtungssysteme, we support you throughout the entire implementation process. Through personalized consultation and needs-based planning, we create customized solutions that optimally combine functionality, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
With Schäfer’s high-quality laboratory furniture, you can create a professional work environment that meets the demands of modern research, development, and analytics and delivers lasting value.
