Eppendorf UK and New Brunswick UK to combine
Firms will be integrated in Cambridge, UK from 1 January 2011
New Brunswick UK’s sales and service activities, including all personnel, will be integrated into Eppendorf UK in Cambridge from 1 January 2011.
The life science product manufacturer and distributor says this is a ‘natural evolution’ following its 2007 acquisition of New Brunswick Scientific, which is currently based in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
Having one contact point for all sales and marketing enquiries and an expanded team combining the technical expertise of both brands will improve customer service and product offerings, the company says.
The combined companies offer products for liquid, sample and cell handling.
Eppendorf UK is a subsidiary of Eppendorf AG, based in Hamburg, Germany. The company employs more than 2,500 employees on four continents. Group turnover in 2009 was £368m, with an operating profit (EBIT) of £61.4m.
