Micromeritics Instrument Corp., Norcross, GA, on 9th July celebrated the opening of its new German subsidiary and European application laboratory at Munich-Unterschleissheim in the presence of invited customers, employees and local government representatives. Jeff Sherman, Micromeritics' vice president sales and marketing, and Christoph Böck, mayor of Unterschleißheim, inaugurated the new Particle Testing Authority  (PTA) office which – along with other locations in Merignac/France, Hexton/UK, Brussels/Belgium and Eindhoven/Netherlands – will serve the company’s European customers.

"Moving to an attractive and logistically well connected location not only addresses our customers' increasing demand for excellent material characterisation solutions, but also ensures rapid laboratory service in our European Particle Testing Authority application lab, as well as stressing our commitment in Germany," said Sherman. In future, training and education will take place at the new branch, showing the latest developments in powder rheology and related specialist test procedures.

During the opening ceremony, company representatives were available for discussions on density measurement, surface and porosity analysis, particle size and particle shape determination, powder and catalyst characterisation, and process development. Interested customers were able to find out more about which test options best suited their requirements. www.micromeritics.com
