Link to Strengthen Foothold in European Markets

Link Technologies, a developer and manufacturer of nucleic acid reagents, has appointed a distributor in Switzerland - Chemie Brunschwig AG- its first formal partnership in Europe.  The move is an important part of the Scottish company’s strategy to strengthen representation in important market segments across Europe.

Chemie Brunschwig AG a distributor of over one million different chemicals, life science products and lab-ware to both research and industry laboratories has also developed a wide R&D user base across industry, hospitals, private and public health labs, research centres, and universities. Located in Basle, on the border to Germany and France in the Bio Valley, staff are able to communicate with customers in all three regional languages. Emmanuel Picard, Marketing & Sales Manager for Chemie Brunschwig, commented: “We are delighted to agree this partnership with LINK. It is an exciting opportunity to expand our portfolio of products, whilst playing a key role in driving LINK’s growth in the region.”

Dr David Ricketts, CEO of LINK, added: “In our home market of Europe, there are certain geographical areas where our customers can benefit from increased local representation due to factors such as language and purchasing regulations. It is essential therefore that we give these customers such a service. We have already developed a successful working relationship with Chemie Brunschwig, driving growth in Switzerland, and formally appointing them as our distributor was the next logical step. They are a company very much aligned to our ethos of quality and service, and we look forward to working with them to take our business forward.”
