HAMILTON acquires TekCel
The acquisition broadens HAMILTON's product portfolio and strengthens its position as market leader in laboratory automation.
The Boston, MA based Company TekCel designs and manufactures specialised Cooling- and Storage systems for research labs in the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industry.
Sample logistics often is the key challenge in automation projects:"Both Companies are leading in the automation technology for laboratories. The innovative technology of TekCel ideally integrates with our Liquid Handling workstations", explains CEO Andreas Wieland, who also sees a major growth potential in the area of automated cooling systems.
By integrating TekCel systems in the product portfolio, HAMILTON forces the strategic focus as "solution-provider" for automation projects.
