LGC Standards extends US presence

LGC Standards (Teddington, UK) has announced that it has acquired US-based VHG Labs. VHG Labs are a supplier of spectrochemical standards, consumables for laboratory instrumentation and product testing services.

The move extends LGC’s US presence following its acquisition of Analytical Reference Materials International (ARMI) in March and the appointment of Ed Pagani as chief executive officer for LGC’s US operations.

David Richardson, managing director of LGC Standards, commented, “We are delighted to welcome Sue Evans Norris, president of VHG, and Mike Travers, vice president sales and marketing at VHG, and their team into the LGC Group. LGC Standards and VHG Labs are an excellent complementary fit. For LGC Standards, this latest acquisition builds on our strategy to increase our footprint in the US market.”
