Restek Corporation Restek is the leading manufacturer of chromatography columns and consumables for laboratories worldwide.

For 40 years, Restek has been an independent leader in chromatography. Today, as a 100% employee-owned company, we design and manufacture high-quality columns, sample preparation tools, reference standards, and instrument accessories that empower scientists across environmental, food, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and clinical industries. What sets us apart is not only our innovative products and technical expertise but also the ownership culture that drives our commitment to continuous improvement, collaboration, and customer success. Guided by values of We Care, Better Every Day, Respect for All, and Win Together, our global community of employee-owners is dedicated to advancing health, safety, and scientific progress—together.

41 years ago today, Restek opened its doors in a former elementary school in central Pennsylvania, making fused silica GC columns. 🎉

A lot has grown since then: our products, our expertise, and a team of employee-owners across the world. What hasn't changed is our commitment to helping customers get the right results.

Thank you to our customers, partners, and employee-owners for being part of our story. Here's to what's next! 💙

Employee ownership is about more than owning a piece of the company. It’s about taking ownership of the impact we can make together. 💙

On October 1, Restek employee-owners joined volunteers across Centre County for the United Way Day of Caring. Our team spent the day at a Strawberry Fields residential home, helping with fall cleanup, mulching, trimming, cleaning gutters, and staining the back deck.

As we celebrate Employee Ownership Month, it’s a great reminder of what ownership can look like in action: showing up, pitching in, and working together to make a difference for the people and communities around us. Thank you to our volunteers for living We Care and Win Together!

A huge thank you to Skytop Mountain Golf Club for hosting the annual Restek Family Golf Tournament and to Moxmoe Pictures Famous Sandwiches for the tasty lunch. With the gorgeous views and autumn colors, the mountains of central Pennsylvania are a perfect place for team building – and fundraising for American Cancer Society Relay For Life.

October is Employee Ownership Month, and at Restek we're celebrating the people behind everything we do. 🎉

Our employee-owners work across the world 🌍 and in every part of our business, bringing different skills, backgrounds, and perspectives to the work we do. What we share is a sense of ownership in how our work turns out and the difference it makes for the people we serve.

For our customers, that looks like care in everything we make, expertise behind every answer, and a commitment to getting it right, today and for years to come.

This month, we're recognizing the employee-owners whose care and commitment shape the Restek experience. 💙

We're proud to support The Mayfly Project's new State College chapter! TMP State College mentors youth in foster care and teaches them to fly fish, helping kids build confidence, find healing, and connect to their local waters. The program runs five outings where kids learn about fly fishing and caring for the environment — and on the final day, they're outfitted with gear to keep pursuing the sport on their own.

With over 200 kids in foster care in the counties surrounding Restek headquarters, this is a chance to make a real difference in our own community. If you're interested in mentoring, donating, or learning more, check out the project page: https://themayflyproject.com/state-college-pennsylvania-project/ 🎣

Happy Labor Day from all of us!

At Restek, we have a deep appreciation for our employees, who work hard to develop, manufacture, and support the chromatography products that you rely on. This appreciation is what drove our founder to sell the company to the employees, and it's why we celebrate them—and you, our customers and colleagues—today.

Thank you for partnering with our employee-owners to help keep the world's air, water, food, and medicine safe.

☀️ A favorite summer tradition at Restek! 🍦

This week we gathered for our annual Ice Cream Social, hosted by our employee-owner Recognition Team. Colleagues took a break to enjoy Penn State Creamery ice cream, catch up with coworkers, and celebrate the first days of summer.

A special thank you to our volunteers, including members of our Leadership Team, who rolled up their sleeves and helped scoop. It's a simple event, but one that reflects what makes employee ownership special: people taking time to support and appreciate one another.
