Scientific Laboratory Supplies (SLS) has acquired C&M Scientific.
Based in Livingston, C&M is a distributor of laboratory equipment and service provider specialising in installation, validation, calibration, repair and ongoing maintenance for scientific equipment.
The company provides engineering support and consultation throughout Scotland and the north of England, helping clients maintain their research platforms and adhere to accreditation standards.
Nottingham-based SLS is also a supplier of equipment, chemicals and consumables for laboratory use in the UK, so sees the deal as complementary.
It is also acquiring Biostore UK, a bio-banking business that delivers low temperature sample storage facilities to biotechnology and pharmaceutical customers.
The terms of both deals were not disclosed.
Ian Alexander, managing director at C&M, said: “Joining the SLS Group will help us further extend our reach and expand our product offering.”
Ian Roulstone, managing director at SLS, commented: “This deal represents another great addition to the SLS Group - we are excited to further expand the service provision and this acquisition continues our recent focus on developing a world-class service offering.”
Gerald McLaughlin, head of finance at Wylie & Bisset, which advised C&M, said: “This sale sees C&M Scientific remain committed to continue operating from central Scotland.”
