Malvern Instruments and Particle Measuring Systems conclude customer support transfer in Nordic region

1. March 2010: Malvern, UK: As sister companies within Spectris plc, Malvern Instruments and Particle Measuring Systems have completed the transfer of sales and support for Particle Measuring Systems products in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. For many years Malvern subsidiaries in these countries have provided local sales and support for the Particle Measuring Systems portfolio of particle counters, microbial air samplers and molecular contamination monitors. From 1st March 2010, Particle Measuring Systems has moved to direct support of the company's complete product range in the Nordic region, with sales and service teams operating from a newly established Nordic office. This move is the result of sustained growth for both companies, each being committed to providing the highest standards of specialist support for all customers.

Paul Walker, Managing Director of Malvern Instruments feels that this is a natural progression for the two companies. "Particle Measuring Systems has grown to a size in the Nordic region where the company wishes to communicate with its customers through direct channels and we know that they will provide excellent support," he said. "Malvern Instruments too has developed significantly in the past five years, acquiring several specialist companies and a greatly expanded product and technology portfolio. Malvern personnel will focus on the growing Malvern product portfolio, but as many customers use systems from both Malvern and Particle Measuring Systems, there will always be a close working relationship between the two companies."

As of 1st March 2010 the first point of contact for Particle Measuring Systems sales and service enquires should be:
