Transcat Buys Calibration Provider
Transcat owns two other Canadian service companies, but they serve the aerospace, electronics and manufacturing industries. Last year, Transcat bought two US-based lab service firms (see IBO 7/31/15, 8/31/15).
Rochester, NY 1/19/16—Transcat, a provider of calibration and compliance services and handheld-instrument distributor, has acquired Dispersion Laboratory for an undisclosed amount. Based in Canada, Dispersion Laboratory provides services for the calibration, repair and product sales of weights, balances, temperature instruments and liquid handling devices. “We are also gaining the only laboratory in Canada offering automated mass calibrations under robotic control, enabling us to offer the highest level of quality and precision, which is highly valued by the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries,” stated Transcat President and CEO Lee D. Rudow. Dispersion Laboratory cofounders Pierre Trépanier and François Auclair will stay with the company.
