Ben Travis, Chief Executive Officer of Calibre Scientific, said: "The combination of SSS’s comprehensive range of analytical instrumentation together with its high-calibre support services capabilities makes it an excellent fit for us.

“This acquisition reinforces our dedication to advancing our laboratory capabilities and underscores our vision to being a comprehensive provider of instruments, consumables and services to our customers worldwide.”

Bernise Gosden and Keith Gosden, directors of SSS, added: “We are excited for SSS to join Calibre Scientific as it embarks on this new chapter of growth. We have full confidence that Calibre Scientific will further enhance the exceptional quality standards SSS has consistently maintained for our valued customers and trusted suppliers.”
