Who We are
Who We’ve Always Been…
Bruce Klingler
Founder + CEO
Father
AnaCon Laboratories, Inc. — Driven by Passion, Built on Expertise
AnaCon Laboratories, Inc. was founded by Bruce Klingler — a man whose love for his craft has always been matched by the depth of his dedication. For over 47 years, Bruce has poured himself into this company, building it into a trusted name in the industry through an unwavering commitment to excellence and a work ethic that continues to inspire everyone around him.
Before AnaCon, Bruce honed his expertise as a research chemist at Cee Bee Chemical, where he developed products and inhibitor systems for aircraft cleaning chemistries and metal finishing processes. When Cee Bee was acquired by McGean Chemical Company, Bruce continued expanding his knowledge, diving deep into the research and field testing of brightener systems for a wide range of plating baths. It was clear, even then, that this was more than a career for Bruce — it was a calling.
The seeds of AnaCon were planted in the most unlikely of circumstances. Bruce was tasked with research on a product for the legendary Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird. Working evenings and weekends under the name R&D Services, he gave everything he had to that project. When it was complete, a small but capable laboratory remained. Colleagues who had witnessed Bruce's passion and expertise up close encouraged him to open a testing laboratory for the metal finishing industry — and so he did.
That same drive is very much alive today. Bruce remains actively involved with AnaCon Laboratories as CEO and hands-on consultant, lending his decades of knowledge and sharp industry insight to every facet of the business. Alongside him, his family has joined in running day-to-day operations, energized by the same standards and passion Bruce has brought to work every single day. AnaCon is a family business in the truest sense — with Bruce at the helm and his family proud to work beside him, continuing to grow everything he started.
