C&M Scientific, the dedicated service arm of Scientific Laboratory Supplies Group (SLS), has bought Hertfordshire-based Radison Services Limited.
Radison specialises in the installation, validation, calibration, repair, and maintenance of scientific equipment. The company provides engineering support and consultation throughout the South of England, helping clients maintain their research platforms, adhere to accreditation standards, and ensure the ongoing performance of laboratory equipment from world-leading brands.
C&M said the deal represents a significant step forward in its strategy to develop an industry-leading service brand, extending its geographical footprint across the UK and Ireland whilst "reinforcing its commitment to exceptional customer service and support".
The expanded company will be known as C&M Scientific. All of Radison's staff, including their service engineers with over 50 years of experience, will be retained, ensuring continuity of expertise and support for customers.
This acquisition allows C&M Scientific to expand its geographical footprint and establish more localised offices and service workshops. These enhancements will improve response times whilst expanding service capabilities, helping customers to optimise their research and laboratory operations.
This acquisition aligns with the broader SLS Group's 30-year legacy of supporting the UK scientific sector. The addition of Radison reinforces the group's commitment to acquiring and investing in organisations that deliver unrivalled customer service and support to laboratories.
Ian Alexander, Managing Director of C&M Scientific, said: 'We are thrilled to welcome Radison Services Limited to the C&M Scientific family. This acquisition is another step in developing an industry-leading service brand, ensuring we continue to put customers first. By integrating Radison's expertise and local presence with the resources of the SLS Group, we're able to offer an unrivalled standard of service and support to laboratories across the South of England and beyond.'
David Bowles, Managing Director of Radison Services Limited, added: 'Joining C&M Scientific is an exciting milestone for Radison Services. This deal provides our team with access to the resources and reach of the SLS Group, enabling us to offer even greater service capabilities to our customers. Together, we are committed to delivering an unmatched level of engineering support, helping laboratories maintain their vital equipment and achieve their operational goals.'
