Electrothermal, an Essex-based company founded in 1941, is a specialist in precisely controlled heating and cooling applications. The company has an extensive range of products including heaters and controllers for the research and teaching laboratory; reaction stations, which are commonly used by the pharmaceutical industry for optimising reaction conditions; and vehicle-mounted vessels, which have widespread use in military vehicles.
James Heffernan, chief executive of Bibby, said the deal would enhance the company’s position as an industry leader in the manufacture of laboratory products.
‘When coupled with Bibby’s sales channels and extensive complementary product range marketed under the brands Stuart, Techne and Jenway, we believe the new group creates a compelling offering for customers, both current and new,’ he said.
‘We plan to continue to support Electrothermal's reputation as a premium brand offering customers innovative, premium products in each of the markets it serves.’
