Scientific Laboratory Services (SLS), supplier of laboratory equipment and consumables, has signed a regional distributor partnership agreement with Sigma-Aldrich, a leading manufacturer and supplier of laboratory chemicals and reagents, to sell Sigma's products in the east and the south east of England.
The research laboratory market in the UK is in many sectors with thousands of laboratories, and the partnership with SLS is an effective way for Sigma to extend its distribution network,. said Sam Cain, marketing manager of Sigma-Aldrich. We chose our distributor partner very carefully, based on its knowledge and understanding of the market and its customer base. SLS has both the office support and the field representation to communicate with customers face-to-face and talk about Sigma-Aldrich products, bringing us closer to the customers..
Sigma and SLS will launch a new catalogue, available through the SLS website on request, containing the most commonly used laboratory reagents and chemicals from Sigma-Aldrich. The distributor agreement allows scientists to place orders with SLS online, and products are shipped directly from Sigma under its usual next-day service.
