CENCO Physics, the leader in physics education, is a premier
brand of Sargent-Welch. A well-known WW I US army
engineer and educator named Paul Klopsteg established the core focus of CENCO.
A founding member of the American Association of Physics Teachers in the
1930’s, Klopsteg possessed an impressive knowledge of physical science
apparatus and their use in the classroom. He remodeled numerous devices, making
them safe for student applications and investigations. Applying his innovative
design and education experience, Klopsteg transformed CENCO into the most
reputable physics education brand of the century. The classic apparatus and experiments
first created in Klopsteg’s era remain an integral part of CENCO’s product
offering today. A commitment to easy and effective use in student laboratories
also continues to motivate CENCO’s newest additions to the collection. The high
caliber of quality and commitment to educational applications are key
principles still closely regarded today.
