About us
LCR Hallcrest is a world leader in the research, development and manufacture of Colour Change Materials used to indicate temperature and exposure to light or water. Since 1969 we have been creating reversible and irreversible temperature indicators and microencapsulation for use across a broad range of sectors within food safety, medical & health, education, industrial, commercial and domestic fields. During this time we have won many awards for our products and innovation, including three prestigious Government Smart Awards.
With Health and Safety at the forefront of everyday life, our temperature indicators are used across a diverse range of areas serving as helpful Warning Indicators.
Regularly used by many leading organizations, we have been supplying Health Authorities, Supermarkets/Food Chains, Councils/Local Authorities, Charities, Energy Boards, and the NHS with a diverse range of temperature monitors for use in their numerous health, safety and educational campaigns for many years.
Our temperature indicators combine technological innovation and accuracy. They can be introduced to monitor and verify temperature critical processes within many sectors and in particular the food and medical sectors.
In the food sector we help to control or eliminate the presence, growth and effects of harmful bacteria, and to aid due diligence whilst meeting HACCP requirements. They are regularly used by supermarkets and many food chains/businesses throughout Europe for monitoring temperatures within chiller and freezer cabinets, deli counters and cold rooms. In the medical sector we are the largest manufacturer in the world of Anaesthesia Temperature Trend labels and produce numerous products for ensuring vaccines are stored in the correct conditions and detecting early warning signs of malignant tumours. As the world's largest producer of liquid crystal thermometers, we offer quality products made to ISO 9001-2008 accredited standards and are accredited under CE and SEDEX.
Together with in-house laboratories, production and creative facilities both in the UK and USA, and our very active R&D division, we have the ability to help any business take a project from concept through development to final product. Contact us for further information and details.
