<content><![CDATA[Waldner strengthens its presence and service offerings in Australia

Waldner, operating in Australia as Waldner Pty Ltd, is a global leader for design and manufacture of laboratory furniture, fume hoods and laboratory infrastructure systems. The group of companies is now strengthening its presence and service offerings in Australia by acquiring Laboratory Systems Group Pty Ltd, a pioneer in Australia for lab solutions designed for maximum safety and optimum performance, using the highest quality materials and workmanship.

&quot;For Waldner, this addition makes perfect sense and is a consistent next step in expanding our customer base in the important growth market of Australia. Customers in the region will benefit from our broad product portfolio and high-quality solutions, whilst being able to rely on service and quality made in Australia&quot;, says Maximilian Englisch, Global Vice President of Sales at Waldner Group, who will together with the current management team, be at the helm of Lab Systems going forward.

Waldner continues to grow on a global scale and has cemented its position as one of the world&rsquo;s largest manufacturers of laboratory furniture and fume hood systems. Backed by a world-class manufacturing facility, sound expertise in customised engineering and an extensive global sales and service presence, Waldner has continued to strengthen its position as a market-leading and technically superior company. With this acquisition, the global market leader joins forces with the leading Australian supplier to offer clients in Australia and New Zealand unprecedented solutions for safe and sustainable laboratories.

About Waldner

The Waldner Group develops and produces customised filling systems, process systems, laboratories and learning spaces. Waldner is making groundbreaking contributions to nutrition, healthcare and education with its products &ndash; in diverse industries, ranging from pharmaceuticals and R&amp;D to food and animal feed. The South German company was founded in 1908 and has grown throughout its 100-year history to become a globally sought-after partner with over 450 million dollars annual revenue. The successful transformation into a global technology company is driven by over 1,600 people with strong innovative skills worldwide.

About Laboratory Systems Group

For over 45 years, Laboratory Systems Group has been providing Australian clients with fume and other contamination control equipment, specialising in the consultation, design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of scientific spaces and controlled environments. Lab Systems has evolved from a small, family-run customised plastics manufacturer to a leading provider of scientific and laboratory equipment, recognised throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Please note:- Laboratory Systems Group Pty Ltd &ndash; new ABN 71 661 214 419

Additional Information (FAQs)
