Kewaunee Scientific Q1 Revenue Jumps 47%
Kewaunee Scientific (NASDAQ:KEQU), a manufacturer of laboratory furniture and technical products, released its fiscal first quarter 2026 earnings on September 10, 2025. The quarter brought headline year-over-year revenue growth and higher profits, supported by the completed acquisition of Nu Aire. Management noted order backlog remains elevated, but flagged anticipated variability in project delivery for the rest of the year. Overall, the company reported substantial top-line gains, expanding order pipeline, and continued investment in corporate platforms and integration.
Kewaunee Scientific develops, manufactures, and installs laboratory furniture systems used in research, education, healthcare, and industrial environments. Its portfolio includes steel and wood casework (furniture built into laboratory spaces), fume hoods (ventilation enclosures for lab chemicals), and technical equipment for controlled environments.
The company's growth strategy focuses on securing public and private contracts, expanding its international presence, and entering adjacent product categories. Key success factors include competitive bidding strength, strong customer service, and the ability to manage complex, project-based delivery schedules for new construction and renovations. The recent Nu Aire acquisition adds biological safety cabinets, carbon dioxide (CO₂) incubators, and ultralow freezers, further diversifying Kewaunee’s product mix and reach.
