Malvern Instruments, England, and Panalytical, The Netherlands, announce that on January 1 they merged their activities to grow the materials characterization business within the Materials Analysis segment of parent company Spectris.
Both companies are said to be world leading suppliers of analytical instrumentation: Panalytical for X-ray instrumentation and software for the purpose of materials analysis, and Malvern Instruments for materials and biophysical characterization technology. The combined entity is a strong player in the materials characterization market and will be able to leverage the strengths of the individual companies in their end markets, ranging from pharmaceuticals to metals and nanomaterials.
The merger is based on the belief that there are clear benefits through this more collaborative relationship, leveraging the very strong brands and highly-skilled employees of the two companies, to deliver a more complete range of products, solutions, and services to a broader set of markets and customers.
The companies will be working together to ensure a smooth and effective integration guaranteeing our usual high level of support to all our customers. The combined group will continue to develop and invest in the Malvern and Panalytical technologies and the highly-talented workforce.
“This is an exciting time for Malvern and Panalytical,” says Eoghan O’Lionaird, Business Group Director responsible for the Materials Analysis segment within Spectris. “Joining the two companies will enable us to leverage new resources to further grow our service offering and add even more value to our clients and customers.”
