Our success to date is directly attributable to our relentless focus on customer experience, product innovation, and setting new industry-leading quality standards, and I’m excited to be working closely with the new team and structure as we strive to continuously improve in all these areas.”
The company added more than four hundred new customers in FY21, and to meet increased customer demand, has accelerated investments in its global footprint, with renovations now complete in APAC laboratories, and notably the formation of a joint venture with sister company MBL in Japan.
