Renens, Switzerland & Edinburgh, UK – April 28, 2020 – GMP today announced a channel partner agreement with the ultrafast laser manufacturer Chromacity. The agreement will see GMP offer Chromacity’s ultrafast laser systems to industrial and academic customers in Switzerland.
Switzerland’s thriving life sciences sector makes the country a major market for photonics companies. Home to big pharma companies, like Roche and Novartis, Switzerland leads in the world of life sciences manufacturing. With over four decades of experience, GMP is one the country’s leading distributors and turnkey solutions provider in the field of scientific and industrial lasers, spectroscopy solutions and micropositioning.
Fabio Manzini, CEO of GMP, said: “We pride ourselves on providing our customers with access to the latest technologies available, and Chromacity’s ultrafast lasers represent a new generation of high quality, powerful systems that enable scientists and businesses achieve their goals. We’re confident that many of our customers will see the value that can be gained through these next generation laser products and look forward to working with Chromacity.”
