The announcement was made at last weeks Pittcon Show (19th-21st March) in Philadelphia.
“Our expanding business in multiple US and Canadian markets demands rapid response to customer needs, and MEECO shares many of the same blue-chip customers,” said Eric Streel, Managing Director of Orthodyne.
“Our decision to return to exhibit (and present) at Pittcon, the leading US technical conference for several of our markets, signifies our commitment to the growth of these relationships. MEECO’s capabilities will enhance this growth,” Streel continued.
Both companies share a long heritage in the instrumentation field and are recognised for the quality, robustness, versatility, and accuracy of their analysers.
“We each offer modern takes on traditional technologies, committing to high levels of customer support. Both are family businesses that seek long-term relations. So, we saw a very good fit,” Streel continued.
“MEECO has long been the pre-eminent global supplier of electrolytic moisture analysers. In 2018, MEECO sold its very successful spin-off, spectroscopic pioneer Tiger Optics, LLC, and now focuses on leveraging its powerful core technology with complementary technologies,” said Jeremiah Riddle, MEECO’s President.
