In July 2016, Scientific Laboratory Supplies Ltd (SLS) merged with Dominique Dutscher to create Europe’s largest independent laboratory distributor. Since that time, Dutscher Scientific UK (DSUK) have continued to operate independently in the UK market.

With effect from the 1st of May 2017, DSUK will become wholly owned by the SLS Group and their activities will be merged into SLS.  DSUK will be closed to new business from this date.  This change will allow us to better serve both our DSUK and SLS customers as we move forward with a broader combined product portfolio and UK based inventory.  (All DSUK business was previously serviced from France).  

From our UK base in Nottingham, SLS supports the scientific community with proven logistics and an extensive network of field based personnel right across the UK and Ireland. To further support products previously sourced from DSUK, we have also established a specialist sales team to ensure that we build and improve upon the support offered by DSUK to their valued customers.

For products previously supplied by DSUK, our customers can direct all orders, enquiries or requests for quotation to SLS where we will be pleased to help you with your requirements.

Any orders placed on DSUK prior to the 1st of May will continue to be managed by them and you will still be able to contact DSUK using their existing contact details whilst they fulfil your needs.

For existing SLS customers, we are very happy indeed to present additional products, broadening the range of world class brands that we are able to provide to our customers.These brands include Clearline, Flystuff (Genesee), Shield, Ansell and 4titude.  We look forward to introducing you to these products in the very near future and they will be available on the SLS website from the 1st May.

Commenting on this change, Ian Roulstone, Sales Director for SLS said ‘We are really excited by this important milestone in the SLS’ journey. This will open up new opportunities for DSUK and SLS customers alike with a wider product choice and greatly improved delivery times backed by a much larger sales and support service across the UK and Ireland.’ He added ‘It’s great to be able to present this  new and impressive range of market leading products to our customers’
