Investment magnifies new business opportunities

A six-figure investment in sophisticated new equipment is helping Teesside-based scientists to identify new ways of helping their customers.

Intertek MSG, which is based at The Wilton Centre just outside Middlesbrough, has recently acquired a state-of-the-art electron microscope to enhance the services offered to its customers working in the areas of Nanotechnology and Materials Science.

The purchase, which was made jointly with fellow Wilton Centre tenant NanoCentral, will enable Intertek MSG to offer researchers the ability to examine an extended range of materials in even greater detail.

Director Dr Simon Allen explains: “Our work involves the investigation and analysis of products as diverse as aerospace composites, pharmaceuticals and medical devices. The new addition to our equipment ensures our scientists have the best available resource to help solve our customers’ problems and grow their businesses.

“Our team includes many experts at the top of their individual fields who investigate materials on all scales - from nanoparticles to bulk materials – and they work with Intertek’s customers to help improve production processes and develop new products.”

Dave Willis, Wilton Centre Manager, said: “It flies the flag for excellence in scientific research and, with continued investment like this to support them, the team can only go from strength to strength.”
