Oxford Instruments plc, United Kingdom, a leading provider of high technology products and services to industry and scientific research communities, completed the acquisition of FemtoTools AG, Switzerland. The acquisition was first announced on 11 June 2024, and has been completed following the satisfactory conclusion of closing conditions.<\/p>\n

FemtoTools specializes in measuring and imaging the properties (primarily the hardness and stiffness) of materials for research and semiconductor applications at very high resolution via a technique called nanoindentation. It joins Oxford Instruments\u2019 Imaging & Analysis division, where its products will be sold in conjunction with the Group\u2019s existing range of materials analysis tools, including electron microscope micro-analyzers and Raman microscopes.<\/p>\n

Richard Tyson, chief executive officer, Oxford Instruments plc, said: \u201cWe are delighted to have completed the acquisition of FemtoTools. We welcome our new colleagues and look forward to working with them to integrate nanoindentation \u2013 a new technique to Oxford Instruments \u2013 into our extensive portfolio of materials analysis capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christian Lang, managing director, Materials Analysis, Oxford Instruments plc, said: \u201cWe\u2019re so pleased that the FemtoTools team have chosen to join Oxford Instruments. We\u2019ve had a number of very positive meetings since the announcement and are already making plans for our future together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to integrating FemtoTools\u2019 brilliant technology into our wider product range, and to working with this talented group of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Felix Beyeler, co-founder of FemtoTools, said: \u201cThe team and I are very excited for the journey ahead as part of Oxford Instruments. Working together will enable us to extend the reach of our technology and provide even richer analysis to our combined customer base. We\u2019re also looking forward to learning from the hugely experienced Oxford Instruments team.\u201d<\/p>\n
