CCI vK and Kanomax Forge Europe-wide Alliance to Advance Particle and Cleanroom Technologies

CCI vK GmbH & Co. KG of Germany has entered into a new strategic alliance with Kanomax Group, a global leader in particle measurement and environmental monitoring instrumentation. The partnership is designed to significantly expand sales coverage, technical service, and customer support for Kanomax solutions throughout Europe.

As part of this collaboration, CCI vK will become the primary European hub for the complete Kanomax product family—spanning handheld and remote particle counters, environmental monitoring platforms, and comprehensive cleanroom measurement technologies.

One of the major milestones in the agreement is the launch of a new, advanced service centre located near Karlsruhe, scheduled to open in January 2026. This facility will be equipped to perform maintenance, calibration and repairs for all Kanomax devices used across the European market. CCI vK will also offer faster communication channels, shorter turnaround times and an elevated standard of technical expertise.

In alignment with the partnership, CCI vK will transition all of its in-house measurement systems to Kanomax technology at the end of 2025. The conversion will include key particle-measurement solutions such as:

• Helmke-Drum – particle testing based on IEST-RP-CC003.5 for evaluating residual contamination on cleanroom garments and consumables.
• Measuring Table – particle testing according to ASTM-51 for assessing contamination levels on or within cleanroom textiles and apparel.
• CCI-Kit – a mobile solution designed specifically for surface particle measurement.

Both companies view the collaboration as a strong commitment to innovation, accuracy and long-term reliability in the cleanroom and particle-measurement sectors.

“With this partnership, we are opening a new chapter in European measurement technology,” emphasises the management of CCI vK GmbH & Co. KG.

They further note that customers across Europe will experience the combined strengths of cutting-edge Kanomax instrumentation and CCI vK’s streamlined, high-quality service infrastructure. By uniting Japanese engineering excellence with European technical support, the organisations aim to deliver “a powerful alliance for sustainable quality, reliability and customer focus” that will elevate value for the entire industry.
