Micronic launches supporting entity for traceable product portfolio in North America


Micronic Holding BV, a leading manufacturer of innovative sample storage tubes and accessories based in Lelystad, The Netherlands, has announced the launch of Micronic America, a new supporting entity for the company's traceable product portfolio in the U.S. and Canada. Micronic America will operate in conjunction with Micronic Manufacturing USA, Micronic's U.S.-based production facility, to efficiently produce and provide its distributor network with industry-leading sample storage solutions.

Gerrit van der Gaag, CEO at Micronic Holding BV commented "This expansion not only represents our investment in U.S. operations, but is also symbolic of a larger corporate investment in manufacturing and production enhancements, including the construction of a state-of-the-art cleanroom facility and system innovations at our home office that will significantly improve productivity".

He added "Micronic is deeply committed to its distributor network in North America by providing superior products and the launch of Micronic America. Combining this with the backing of more than 25 years of leadership in the industry, enhances our ability to deliver on that promise,". "Further producing sample storage tubes, caps and racks domestically with our manufacturing facility enables us to ensure the integrity of materials and processes throughout every step of production and will improve turnaround times for distributors."

Located within a Keystone Innovation Zone in the Philadelphia, PA region, Micronic America supports the sales and marketing of North America while working in conjunction with the company's adjacent manufacturing plant, which boasts a Class 7 cleanroom environment. Beyond ensuring quality and product consistency, Micronic uses a proprietary laser etching system to imprint barcodes directly onto sample racks and a unique 2D Data-Matrix code on the bottom of each tube for simplified and durable sample identification.

Distributors supported by Micronic America in the United States and Canada include E&K Scientific, USA Scientific, Nova Biostorage Plus (formerly Micronic North America), MJS Biolynx and D-Mark Biosciences.

"This expansion not only represents our investment in U.S. operations, but is also symbolic of a larger corporate investment in manufacturing and production enhancements, including the construction of a state-of-the-art cleanroom facility and system innovations at our home office that will significantly improve productivity," added van der Gaag.

Dedicated to the design and production of innovative sample storage tubes, accessories and instruments over the last 25 years, Micronic is uniquely able to offer laboratories the expert advice to help them safeguard one of its most valuable assets - its samples.
