Velocity11, a supplier of automation technology for life science laboratories, has announced relocation of its European headquarters to new, larger purpose built offices in the UK
With European sales now representing a sizeable and growing percentage of Velocity11's global turnover the move reflects several successful product introductions and a dramatic increase in installed systems over the last 18 months.
The company has experienced strongest customer interest in the automation solutions it provides for screening and plate replication.
Talking about the relocation Gerry Alden (European sales manager) commented: "the new facility marks a further investment in our growing base of customers who will gain the benefit of easier and faster access to technical, applications, service and administrative support.
"With increasing demand for our affordable Bravo liquid handling system and BioCel family of automation platforms, we are also planning to recruit further experienced staff to enable us to maintain the high level of informed support and service we provide to customers across Europe".
Velocity11's customers comprise most of the major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as well as leading genome centers and academic institutions.
Combining innovative engineering with high standards of quality and customer service, Velocity11 designs and manufactures flexible high-performance automation solutions for processes that are transforming the industry.
