Nonlinear
Dynamics expands presence in Europe with new distributor in France
7th
November 2002, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK and Plaisir, France. Following
recent expansion in the USA and the Far East, Nonlinear Dynamics
reinforces its commitment to expanding business globally by announcing the
appointment of a new European distributor to cover the French market.
Aphelys is a leading reseller of instrumentation, reagents and software to
the research and diagnostic markets and will distribute several of
Nonlinear’s image analysis and database software solutions throughout
France.
After
the UK and Germany, France is the third largest life science market in
Europe and Nonlinear wants to establish strong brand recognition in this
country for its industry-leading 1D, 2D and Array image analysis software.
The products available for sale through Aphelys include Phoretix 2D for
in-depth 2D electrophoresis studies; Phoretix 1D, a powerful analytical
tool suited to all aspects of serious 1D electrophoresis research; and
Phoretix Array offering the array image analysis market a superior level
of performance and sophistication. In addition, TotalLab, developed
from the Phoretix product range, is a suite of core image analysis tools
with modules for 1D gel analysis, array/dot blot analysis, colony counting
and various other general image analysis applications, making it an
invaluable tool for the life science laboratory.
Pierre
Chaumat, Alphelys President, said “Genomics has been strongly developing
into research labs throughout France and Proteomics is now rapidly gaining
pace as the natural “next step” in human genetics and drug research
programs. It is clearly the
right moment to be in the market to provide effective and consistent
technologies, especially in 1D and 2D gel electrophoresis image analysis,
in order to assist scientists in their ever accelerating and demanding
projects. We are very proud to be in the position to provide the
next-generation software solutions from Nonlinear Dynamics.
This will bring to French scientists the premium tools to control
perfectly the orientation of their research and help them to reach their
goals rapidly.”
John
Spreadbury, Group Sales and Marketing Director, said, “As Nonlinear
continues to grow we identified that France was an important market for
us.” He added, “We are delighted to be working with Alphelys due to
their market presence and experience in the French life science arena. We
see our partnership as a key business decision to strengthen Nonlinear’s
brand awareness in this territory and to offer French scientists the best
image analysis software available.”
