Analytik Jena and Metrohm Enter Strategic Alliance in India and Scandinavia
Two Metrohm subsidiaries, Metrohm India Ltd and Metrohm Nordic AS will become exclusive distributors for Analytik Jena’s product offer in India and the Scandinavian countries. Both partners are operating globally as leading manufacturers of precision instruments for chemical analysis. From a business-strategic perspective Metrohm’s portfolio (titration, ion chromatography, voltammetry and stability measurement) and Analytik Jena’s portfolio (optical spectroscopy/elemental analysis) are an ideal match.
Their strategic partnership allows both partners to join forces in the above mentioned markets and provide the best product and service offer to their customers. Metrohm India Ltd has been a key-player in the Indian market for analytical instruments for more than 25 years.
The company has established a close network of local agencies for distribution, service & support all over India. Given the size of the Indian market, this is an invaluable asset, which from now on will also benefit the customers of Analytik Jena. Headquartered in Chennai, Metrohm India Ltd has installed more than 2000 units in India making the company the market leader in many customer branches and an ideal partner for Analytik Jena’s product offer.
The cooperation in the Scandinavian countries between Metrohm and Analytik Jena will be developed step by step. Starting from its head office in Sweden, Metrohm Nordic AS will distribute and bring after-sales service & support for Analytik Jena products to Norway, Finland, and Denmark.

PBS Biotech, Inc, a developer of state of the art single-use bioreactors for the fast growing biotechnology market, announced today it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement in Korea with Green Cross Medical Sciences Corp (GCMS), a division of Green Cross Corporation, one of Korea’s largest pharmaceutical firms. Under terms of the agreement GCMS will market, sell and support the complete line of PBS Biotech single-use bioreactors for R&D and production to the more than 200 biopharma firms of the burgeoning Korean drug, vaccine and biosimilar industry.
The Korean biopharma industry, now ranked the 12th largest in the world and 4th largest in Asia, has announced plans to be a major global supplier within the next two decades. Today, the country’s pharmaceutical revenues top $20 billion with 8% coming from biotech. “With the PBS Biotech family of bioreactors, GCMS is expanding the use of disposable bioreactors in the industry,” said Mr Seung- Sam Seo, President of GCMS. “We believe the PBS single-use bioreactor systems, which offer tremendous value and benefits to our customers, will be a significant and cost effective contributor in helping the industry meet the drug and vaccine needs of our own population and for international customers,” he said.
“GCMS is a premier medical products sales and marketing organisation well positioned to introduce and advance the application of our next generation bioreactor systems in the Korea market,” said Dr Brian Lee, President and co-founder of PBS Biotech.
Rapid adoption of single-use bioreactors is occurring across all stages of the bioprocess as firms embrace single-use technology to drive out costs in both R&D and production while increasing process flexibility, operational efficiency and accelerating time to market. PBS Biotech bioreactors, which employ a low shear Air Wheel™ mixing mechanism, are used in developing plant, animal and insect cell cultures in lab, clinical, seed train and production uses.
“Our single-use bioreactors are the products of choice for any size biopharma firm migrating from costly and fragmented legacy lab to production bioreactor equipment to a single-use solution providing unequalled mixing performance, low profile and ease of use,” stated James B. Schultz, PBS Biotech Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With PBS and its channel partners we help create, deliver and measure specific value for our customers resulting in distinct competitive advantage for their business,” he said.
