“Our continued expansion into the global marketplace is exciting,” CEO Bryan Debshaw said. “Opening the laboratory in Poznan allows us to grow in the same markets our customers are growing in so we can provide better service to them.”
Poland was chosen for the laboratory location due to its Central European location, educated workforce and market potential. The city of Poznan was selected based on its location, shipping capabilities and available laboratory space. POLARIS Laboratories® has acquired space at the Poznan Science and Technology Park, which is designed to help businesses work with students.
“Our award-winning HORIZON® application is being well-received in the European market,” Debshaw said. “Our customers value seeing the condition of their fluid analysis program from a 10,000-foot view before diving in close to review the details that form the bigger picture. No one else offers such a complete package of proven impact, uptime and savings in Europe.”
European Territory Sales Manager Gwyn Simmonds joined POLARIS Laboratories® to assist existing European customers and seek out new customers who will send their samples to the Poznan facility. European companies interested in improving equipment uptime and saving money through fluid analysis should contact Gwyn Simmonds at gsimmonds@polarislabs.com.
