Dusty TLP Ltd., the owner of Peak Scientific, has acquired Wirac Automation Ltd, a company that trades as Noblegen and specialises in the design, development, and manufacture of specialist gas and cryogenic solutions. This is the latest step in the Dusty TLP board’s vision to expand its portfolio and develop its range of products to better serve customers around the world, according to a press release issued by Peak Scientific.
Noblegen will remain a separate brand from Peak Scientific, and maintain its own identity. Noblegen will continue to operate independently, with the added support of the parent company. Paul Hudson, newly appointed General Manager for Noblegen, commented, “I am thrilled to take up this exciting opportunity with the team at Noblegen to continue bringing their existing customers the excellent products and customer service they have come to expect from Noblegen.”
Bill Johnston, founder of Wirac Automation Ltd, who will continue working at Noblegen in the role of Technical Director, added, “I’d like to thank all of our customers and suppliers who have been part of the business’s success over the years and I firmly believe that under the new ownership even greater successes are to be had in the years ahead.”
