Shinetek Instruments Acquires Gas Generator Manufacturer ZhongYa

On 1^st February 2014, Shinetek Instruments finalised the acquisition of the Beijing gas generator manufacturer ZhongYa Gas Instruments Research Institute. In the course of the acquisition all products, technical know-how, patents, and customer data have been transferred to Shinetek Instruments. Moreover, all jobs could be preserved and all former ZhongYa employees have successfully been integrated into the Shinetek Instruments family. This acquisition marks an important milestone in the history of Shinetek Instruments and brings the company a step further in its mission to provide first-class products and solution to its customers around the globe.

“It is a big step in strengthening our position in the chemical analysis field and broadening our product range in this direction was the right strategic decision. Not only are we now able to provide a more diversified product portfolio for our customers, but also to take advantage of the cross-selling opportunities that lie within the vacuum and gas generation products,” said Dr Mueller Zhang, General Manager of Shinetek Instruments.

ZhongYa Gas has been engaged in the production of gas generation instruments for laboratory since 1989. ZhongYa Gas was the first company to develop and market gas instruments in China and to provide complete gas provision systems for gas chromatography and other gas dependent laboratory equipment, ranging from single-gas generators to 3-in-1 systems.

In the course of the acquisition of ZhongYa Gas by Shinetek Instruments, the formerly ZhongYa products will be marketed under the ChemVak brand, which is mainly focused on vacuum equipment. As of now, ChemVak not only specialises in the complete absence of gas but also in the controlled provision of it.
