“We look forward to the technical expertise and logistics capabilities the Azelis team brings to delivering the products and support our Life Sciences customers need on a Pan-European basis, while providing a more focused geographical approach for customers in specific paints and coatings, and other industrial markets,” said Liam Doherty, Business Vice President, EMEA and India.

Matthew Dickman, Azelis’ Market Segment Director Pharma, comments on the new arrangement: “ANGUS and Azelis Pharma share the same focus on delivering market-specific solutions and expertise. The partnership will enable both parties to focus on providing the highest level of technical, logistical and customer service support to the growing customer base across Europe and Turkey. We are delighted to partner with ANGUS for this strategic business, utilising the extensive network of Azelis and the unrivalled technical and product experience of ANGUS to drive growth and innovation for our customers.”
