Quorum Technologies has launched a Distributor of the Year award, and are delighted to announce that the 2009 winner is German distributor, Gala Instrumente.

“One of the key reasons for the success of our business over many years is the strength, dedication and professionalism of our worldwide distribution,” explained Mike Wombwell, Sales and Marketing Director at Quorum Technologies. “This award aims to recognise these qualities year on year across our network of over 60 distributors globally.”

Mike presented the Distributor of the Year 2009 award to Gala Instrumente’s Managing Director Dr. Jost Gabler (pictured) during the recent Electron Microscopy Course in Münster, Germany.

Jost commented: “I am delighted to accept the first award of its kind on behalf of my company, and think it’s a great idea for Quorum Technologies to introduce this. The English sparkling wine we have also received will certainly go down well with my colleagues!”

Mike continued: “For many years Gala Instrumente have provided world-class support for our many German customers. The level of sales in 2009 was exceptional and covered all product types - including very strong sales of cryo-SEM preparation systems.

“Gala specialise in electron microscopy specimen preparation and are therefore not only able to offer dedicated sales and after-sales support, but they also feed back valuable information on new techniques and customer requirements which we can use in the development of future products. Well done to Gala Instrumente!”
