Adjustment of the Elementar branding strategy
Elementar is known as a manufacturer of analytical instruments
for organic elemental analysis. Furthermore, the product portfolio
contains mass spectrometers, developed and manufactured from
the 100 % subsidiary Isoprime. To make clear that both brands
belong together and to exploit synergy effects, all Isoprime
products will be marketed within the Elementar brand.
Isoprime was acquired by Elementar in 2008 and was marketed as
an independent brand within the umbrella brand Elementar Group.
This ensured the positive reputation of the products in the market:
Isoprime is a pioneer in the field of mass spectrometry for over 40
years, in the tradition of Vacuum Generators in Manchester.
The disadvantage of this strategy was that the connection
between Elementar and Isoprime is not clearly visible, even
though both companies are closely interlinked – most of the time
the products are used in combination by customers. To gain more
efficiency and exploit synergy effects, all Isoprime products will in
future be marketed within the Elementar brand. The company is
now present as one strong brand worldwide – irrespective
whether the office is in China, France, Germany, India, Italy,
Japan, USA or in Great Britain.
Mr. Albrecht Sieper, director of Elementar Analysensysteme
GmbH, justifies the decision as follows: „It is the logical
consequence of our expanded worldwide presence. We are one
company, which offers cutting-edge technology in the fields of
elemental analysis and stable isotope analysis – and that is how
we want to be recognized in the market.”
Except the change of the brand name, there are no further
changes for Isoprime customers: They will further benefit from
professional service and their well-known contact partners, which
remain unchanged at the company.
