From 1^st January 2011, Eppendorf and New Brunswick Scientific will be fully integrated in the UK and Ireland. This is a natural evolution following on from Eppendorf AG's acquisition of New Brunswick Scientific in late 2007.

All New Brunswick UK sales and service activities, including all personnel, will be integrated into the commercial activities of Eppendorf UK Ltd in Cambridge. With one contact point for all sales and marketing enquiries, and one expanded team combining the technical expertise of both brands, Eppendorf aims to deliver a truly excellent standard of customer service.

Eppendorf and New Brunswick offer market-leading products for liquid handling, sample handling and cell handling, building on long traditions of innovation, high quality ergonomic design and impressive reliability. Their systems, equipment and consumables help advance research, protect precious samples and enhance laboratory efficiency.

The New Brunswick ethos matches that of Eppendorf and the wider portfolio of complementary products and strengthened brand created by the integration will mean greater customer choice and even better customer care.

Eppendorf UK, incorporating New Brunswick Scientific from 1^st January 2011, is headquartered in Cambridge and a subsidiary of Eppendorf AG, Hamburg, Germany. With over 2,500 employees on four continents, Eppendorf AG is a leading global supplier of systems and research tools for the biotechnology industry.
