Trajan Scientific and Medical, “Trajan” has completed its acquisition of the Chromatography and Liquid Handling

businesses of SGE Analytical Science, “SGE”. SGE was founded by Ern Dawes in Melbourne Australia in 1961 and has

remained in the Dawes family for over 50 years. Its business, focussed on components and consumables used in

scientific analysis has grown to around 300 staff worldwide with manufacturing operations in Ringwood Australia and

subsidiary offices in the USA, Europe and Japan.

Dawes Holdings, the parent company of SGE, owned by Peter Dawes, will retain a range of assets, including the ETP

Electron Multiplier business. Under the new ownership SGE will continue to work closely with ETP and provide global

support and distribution services as is the case today.

Trajan, formed in 2011, acquired the pathology consumables business of Grale Scientific, (Victoria Australia) in

October 2011.

“Trajan’s goal is to bring together a group of leading companies with a common focus in the areas of biological,

environmental and food analysis. SGE is an ideal platform for Trajan, with a global footprint and a depth of capability

and infrastructure, servicing the leading companies in analytical science” said Stephen Tomisich CEO of Trajan.

Under the arrangement Trajan has acquired the manufacturing operations and site in Ringwood Australia, the SGE

sites and operations in Europe and the USA and all shareholdings in the SGE subsidiaries located in Europe, the USA

and Japan.
