The basan group expands global sales activities
The basan group, a leading European supplier of cleanroom products and services, has successfully completed the integration of the business activities acquired from Metron Technology in Europe and Asia.
The acquisition of the distribution division of cleanroom consumables in Europe and Asia cleanroom garment manufacture in Malaysia from Metron Technology was announced in April. In Germany, Belgium, Great Britain, Ireland and the Netherlands basan has integrated the business activities of Metron Technology into its own subsidiaries, while the newly established subsidiaries in Italy, France, Singapore and Malaysia will enable basan to develop new markets.
"We are very satisfied to have won over several former Metron employees for key positions in the new basan subsidiaries," said Frank Braun, managing director of basan, explains. "This allows us to retain market-, customer- and product-specific know-how and to ensure that local requirements are understood and fulfilled."
Since the acquisition, the number of employees in the basan group worldwide has increased to 125. The headquarters remain in Kriftel, Germany. "For basan the acquisition means a significant expansion of the global sales activities," says Braun. "Our customers benefit from an expanded product line and an even more attractive cost structure, which we can achieve for our customers due to the increased purchasing volume."
