Manufacture of the Selerity's Polaratherm total temperature controller will relocate to Belgium under this deal with Research Institute for Chromatography
Temperature programmed liquid chromatography (TPLC) specialist Selerity Technologies announces a new affiliation with the Research Institute for Chromatography (RIC), effective June 2005.
The affiliation will consist of a new manufacturing and marketing venture for the Polaratherm total temperature controller.
Selerity Technologies will unveil this new venture with RIC at the HPLC Symposium in Stockholm, where the companies are jointly exhibiting.
Manufacture of the Polaratherm will relocate to Belgium.
The combined global alliance will result in a new Belgian-based manufacturing centre of excellence for the Polaratherm, with RIC taking responsibility for sales and marketing in Europe and Asia and Selerity retaining the North American and rest of world sales.
RIC has been marketing and distributing the Polaratherm in Europe for Selerity since January 2004.
The immediate objectives of this affiliation are to produce Polaratherm in levels to meet growing customer demand.
Polaratherm is successfully installed with leading pharmaceutical, food and beverage and nutraceutical customers.
The new venture will focus on increased production, more efficient manufacturing, improved quality assurance, extended global presence and support and increased technological expertise.
Jody Clark, VP sales and marketing for Selerity Technologies, comments: "RIC is a leading centre in modern separation science.
"Selerity and RIC are working closely and successfully to develop the market for Polaratherm and this new venture is the first step to strengthening this relationship".
Selerity Technologies will continue to concentrate on innovation and growth for Polaratherm and its other products.
Jody concludes: "We know this new partnership will provide a solid base and ongoing appeal for Polaratherm and TPLC as a commercially viable technique, and that with this new affiliation our two companies will go from strength to strength."
