Transformative technology for patient care
We are at the cutting edge of life sciences technology, improving the accuracy of analytical and diagnostics tests, and creating critical components to keep patients alive during life-saving operations or in critical care units. In fluid control, our solutions ensure the safety, reliability and performance of everyday essentials – from eggs to car tyres.
Our sector
>> Our key applications include anaesthesia and ventilation, and mass spectrometry
>> We supply the majority of the top global ventilator OEMs, and most of the top 10 analytical and diagnostic OEMs
>> We serve our customers through our global engineering resources and manufacturing facilities in Europe, the USA and China
We are seeing a trend from our OEM customers to simplify their supply chains and look for multiple needs to be solved by a single partner. Our recent acquisitions of Adaptas Solutions and CorSolutions put us in a strong position to support this complexity reduction. We now offer our OEM customers an even broader portfolio of capabilities, allowing us to solve fluidic and detection challenges.
Customers also increasingly want a local, trusted expert in their supply chain to support manufacturing and design challenges. We are well positioned for this because of our global manufacturing and engineering footprint, and are able to support customers as they look to outsource activities to trusted suppliers.
2023 highlights
>> Launched the Active Controls range of products, including our Air Infinity pipettor, drastically reducing design complexity for OEM customers
>> Enabled even better commercial coffee machines with the launch of our media separated TruControl dispense valve
>> Grew our portfolio of customer projects, many of which are driven by synergies with Adaptas
As we work with our customers towards a stabilisation of demand on the core business, our priorities include delivering growth through innovation and winning share of wallet with existing and new OEM customers. We have developed a strong pipeline of customer opportunities, including through leveraging relationships from our acquisition of Adaptas.
"Our deep applications expertise allows us to help our customers design next generation life science equipment which diagnoses disease faster and improves the quality of patient focused critical care."
Transformative technology for patient care
In 2023, our fluid control solutions continued to create value for patient care by accelerating molecular diagnostics. Through close customer partnership and ongoing innovation, we developed critical fluid technology for a device to diagnose respiratory illnesses in around 15 minutes, instead of hours. Our customer needed a faster, smaller, smarter instrument for doctors and clinicians in point-of-care settings to sample, test and diagnose patients with lab-quality analysis. Our integrated fluid control systems also increase the number of pathogens that can be tested. By creating a complete solution, we reduced supply chain complexity for our customer and improved reliability and cost. The new instrument improves access to healthcare for patients around the world and enables more accurate and timely treatment decisions.
Our technology has helped accelerate point-of-care diagnostics – with results in minutes instead of hours.
