Since 1970 Anachem Ltd. (Luton, UK) has been supporting scientists in the UK and Ireland with an extensive range of high quality pipetting and laboratory supplies. Now, in its fortieth year, the Company has become part of METTLER TOLEDO International Inc.

This new ownership will further strengthen Anachem's leadership in the liquid handling market. The relationship will also bring additional choices in pipetting for Anachem's customers that were previously inaccessible.

“As part of the METTLER TOLEDO organisation we will now be able to introduce our customers to the entire range of RAININ pipettes” said Carole Staniford, Marketing Director, Anachem Ltd.

“These products offer advances in ergonomics and performance, essential for today's demanding laboratory procedures.”

The Anachem and RAININ names have always been closely aligned since Ken Rainin became one of the founder members of Anachem back in 1970. The two Companies have both enjoyed significant growth and success since then and RAININ itself became part of METTLER TOLEDO in 2001.

“The acquisition of Anachem will enable us to better serve customers in the UK and Ireland with our full product range, by providing the best local sales and service support” said Graham Eley, General Manager METTLER TOLEDO UK.
