Hach Co. to break ground on R&D facility in Loveland
LOVELAND — Hach Co., a Loveland-based manufacturer of high-tech water-testing equipment, said Monday it will break ground on a multimillion-dollar research and development facility on its existing two-building campus.
The official groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday, June 16, at the future construction site, south of its existing facility at 5600 Lindbergh Drive.
The new building will be approximately 86,000-square feet and it will house work spaces for Hach’s development teams, with multiple testing and development laboratories. All existing research laboratories and facilities will move into the new building, providing associates with the most advanced equipment and resources while creating room to expand and add associate work spaces in the existing buildings.

Empowering communities
Rocky Mountain Health Plans (RMHP), part of the UnitedHealthcare family, has pledged its commitment to uplift these communities through substantial investments in organizations addressing the distinct needs of our communities.
“Hach has a great history of innovation, and this investment will ensure we continue to develop state-of-the-art new products, attract great talent and maintain our commitment to customers,” Kevin Klau, Hach’s president said in a prepared statement. “Cliff and Kitty Hach chose Loveland more than 35 years ago to expand their growing business, and it’s exciting to make this investment in light of Hach’s continued growth.”
Hach’s existing Loveland facilities include two buildings with more than 200,000 square feet that are currently used for manufacturing, research and development, marketing, technical support, customer service and other business functions.
More than 750 associates work on the Loveland campus and another 50 are working from leased office space in Fort Collins. This expansion will offer additional space to support Hach’s near-term and anticipated future growth.
“Our commitment to invest in research and development to support Hach’s continued growth helps enable us to keep delivering on our mission to ensure water quality for people around the world,” Klau said.
