Thermo acquires SwissAnalytic
Thermo Fisher Scientific has acquired SwissAnalytic Group AG, based in Basel, Switzerland.
SwissAnalytic Group owns Spectronex AG and Flux Instruments AG, which had combined revenue of approximately $22 million USD in fiscal year 2006.
Spectronex is a supplier of mass spectrometry, chromatography and surface science instrumentation in Switzerland, Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. As Thermo Fisher Scientific expands its field sales presence in Europe, this acquisition will bring additional direct sales, demonstration capabilities and visibility to customers in these regions.
Flux Instruments is a manufacturer of liquid chromatography pumps and software. Flux brings new technology and design expertise to Thermo Fisher Scientific's current HPLC and LCMS business, which includes the new Thermo Scientific Accela™ UHPLC as well as advanced sample extraction and liquid chromatography products gained through the recent acquisition of Cohesive Technologies.
