Sartorius agrees distribution partnership with Dylog

Sartorius has signed a product distribution deal with Dylog, a technology and software supplier based in Italy.

The new arrangement will allow the company to market and distribute Dylog's complete range of x-ray inspection and detection equipment globally under the Sartorius brand name, while also conducting servicing and installation services.

It represents an extension of a four-year working relationship between the companies and enables Sartorius to capitalise on Dylog's market-leading product portfolio in this field.

Sartorius is keen to benefit from the rising demand for x-ray detection systems, which are playing a growing role in quality assurance in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics sectors.

Peter Grimley, general manager of the Sartorius industrial weighing unit, said: "The private label agreement is the next logical step in extending our partnership with Dylog."

Last month, the company published its 2011 first-quarter financial report, highlighting a 14.4 percent year-on-year rise in consolidated sales revenue.
