Dr. Ralf H. Koslow, founder of Koslow Scientific Company, was born in Berlin, Germany, and immigrated to New York City in 1939. He attended New York City public schools before being drafted into the U.S. Army Signal Corps during the Korean War. After his service, he earned a Ph.D. in electrochemistry from New York University.

Drawing on his military experience, Dr. Koslow recognized the need for advanced methods to identify and sort metal alloys through electrochemical applications. His vision and unwavering commitment to product integrity helped establish Koslow Scientific Company (KSC) as a globally respected name in the industry.

By his side was his wife, Donna Koslow, who played a vital role in the company’s early growth, leading sales initiatives and building strong, lasting relationships with customers.

Dr. Koslow remained active in the business until his retirement in 2007. Today, their son, Wolf Koslow, carries on the family legacy, guiding KSC with the same dedication to innovation and quality. His wife, Lauren Koslow, now joins him in continuing the tradition of exceptional customer service, assisting with sales and supporting the company’s day-to-day operations.

Together, the Koslow family continues to uphold the values that have made KSC a trusted name in electrochemical testing worldwide.
