Company Achieves Record Turnover as Water Industry Thrives

Manchester-based specialist electrochemical sensor manufacturer Analytical Technology Inc.which provides both water and gas monitoring instrumentation, reports year on year increase in strength since its inception in 1998, culminating in a record month for the business in June. This spectacular achievement demonstrates the buoyancy of the current market for water monitoring instrumentation, despite the present economic recession. It is also a demonstration of the ongoing and imperative need for reliable water monitoring in the water utility industry to ensure a safe and continuous supply of water. The business has had its strongest first half ever, culminated in the June sales peaking at £1.2 million; a large component of this success was attributed to the recent contract signed with Severn Trent Water, involving the purchase of 250 Analytical Technology residual chlorine monitors in June alone. The company is also supplying Yorkshire Water with more than 450 chlorine monitors and has enjoyed repeated success in recent years, providing instrumentation to other major utility companies such as United Utilities, Scottish Water, Thames Water, Anglian Water and South West Water. Dr. Michael Strahand, General Manager at Analytical Technology, comments: “Our record turnover in June 2011 is testament to matching the needs of our customers with a team excelling at service. Top class customer service is essential in this industry, where rapid response times to situations such as water treatment issues are hugely important to maintain a safe supply of  water in utility, food and beverage manufacturing and pharmaceutical plants. We have invested in a successful future by providing our team with industry leading customer service  training, by Gustav Käser Training International.”
