The Netzsch Analyzing & Testing division and Bruker
Corporation today announced jointly that Netzsch Japan K.K. has
acquired Bruker’s Thermal Analysis instruments business in Japan.
Together with the well-established international Netzsch group,
Netzsch Japan will further develop, produce, distribute and service
the existing and new Thermal Analysis product lines. Financial
details of the transaction were not disclosed.
In Japan, Netzsch has previously been distributing its Thermal
Analysis instruments via Bruker AXS K.K., headquartered in
Yokohama. Bruker has distributed high-end Netzsch Thermal Analysis
products in Japan in parallel with Bruker’s routine Thermal
Analysis product line. Being one of the leading countries in top
level materials research and development, Japan is one of the most
important markets for high-performance Thermal Analysis
instrumentation.
Mr. Yoshio Shinoda, President of Netzsch Japan K.K., stated: “We
are convinced that having a large R&D and production site that
understands the needs of the Japanese market is an excellent way to
further develop our future business in Japan. With an additional 30
employees joining us from Bruker, Netzsch can now serve our
Japanese customers even better, and we will further improve our
outstanding reputation as the performance leader in Thermal
Analysis instrumentation. This will boost the success that Netzsch
has had in recent years in the Asia-Pacific region.”
Mr. Sadao Ueki, President of Bruker AXS K.K., added: “It is a
great benefit for our valued Thermal Analysis customers and
employees to have the Thermal Analysis business now under the
leadership and management of Netzsch Japan K.K, a global
leader in high-performance Thermal Analysis instrumentation. With
the support of their headquarters in Germany, Netzsch will have a
very successful future in Japan.”
