Techcomp Europe Ltd., the parent company of Edinburgh Instruments, has acquired Dubai-based AASolutions FZCo and re-named it Techcomp Middle East FZCo (TME). This new office enables Edinburgh Instruments to have a local platform in the region for supporting future sales and service requirements. In addition, TME will offer sales and service support for other leading Techcomp brands, such as Scion Instruments, Precisa Gravimetrics and Froilabo, and strategic partner Hitachi HKK Centrifuges. “This is a very exciting time for Techcomp,” said Chris O’Connor, CEO of the Techcomp Group. “This acquisition secures an excellent platform for us to expand our presence and support in the region for all of the group businesses.” Techcomp Europe consists of a group of European companies involved in the manufacture and distribution of analytical systems, life science equipment and laboratory instruments.
