Palintest Acquires Wagtech Water Technology Division

Water analysis technology company Palintest Ltd has now expanded its global reach and operations with the acquisition of the Water Technology Division of Wagtech International Ltd., as of 1st March 2011. The Wagtech Water Technology Division will operate as a newly-formed stand-alone business unit within the Palintest organisation. It will continue to focus on the manufacture and supply of a wide range of portable water testing kits and products for field use. The new Wagtech WTD business unit will be headed up by Neil Wrigglesworth, who together with Tom Aylward has transferred across from Wagtech International.

This acquisition brings together the technical strength of the Palintest product range with the extensive knowledge that Wagtech WTD has of bespoke field testing kits, especially for the developing areas of the world. Through the new, combined distribution network it will considerably strengthen Palintest’s reach into global markets, especially in Africa and Asia, providing those regions with greater access to the company’s growing range of analytical equipment.
