The company was founded in 1958, under the name Laboglass, initially as glass blowing business, specialising in custom glassware for the canning industry in Stavanger.

With the growth in the oil and gas industry on the west coast, the company was restructured in 1976 to better serve the new market. Laboglass then started offering general laboratory equipment and specialty instruments for drilling fluids, well cement and core samples.

In 2001, the company was re-established under the name Phoenix Trading AS, still with the main customer base in the oil service industry, but also serving customers within education, food manufacturing and municipal water and sewage plants.

Today, Phoenix Trading AS is a one-stop-shop for laboratories, offering chemicals, consumables and analytical instruments. Our office is located in Stavanger Norway, were we have an instrument repair workshop and warehouse with over 1500 product lines in stock. Our service department repairs and preforms preventative maintenance on the instruments we offer, both in our workshop and on-site.
