Malvern Instruments has announced two new appointments to its process systems team in the USA, against a backdrop of strong sales throughout 2005
Matt Malfa and Alon Vaisman will work as project engineers on Malvern's US process systems team, primarily supporting the installation and commissioning of new systems across North America.
Sales of Malvern's process systems are buoyant, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector, as manufacturers respond to the FDA's PAT initiative.
Vaisman has developed technical expertise working in both the military and private sectors and as an applications engineer on a range of products.
Malfa, who shares Alon's engineering background, has experience of equipment design, manufacturing and customer service.
Both, in addition to working on new installations, will lend technical support to the existing sales and service functions.
They will work out of Malvern's Southborough MA office.
The PAT initiative is designed to encourage pharmaceutical manufacturers to operate their processes more efficiently through the use of analytical instrumentation.
The pharmaceutical sector is already the largest user of particle characterization technology and this change in processing approach is therefore expected to continue to drive sales throughout 2006.
With an excellent product and strong regional teams Malvern is an ideal choice for companies upgrading their analytical capability.
