Markes International has announced that it is expanding its business by opening two new premises in Llantrisant, near Cardiff, UK, and Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.
The focus of the new premises will be customer support and the development of new analytical solutions. The new building in Llantrisant is adjacent to the current facility and features a laboratory for customer demonstrations, a conference room for seminars and training and new facilities and offices. The Cincinnati facility also has a new laboratory to showcase the range of Markes’ products.
Elizabeth Woolfenden, Director of Markes International, commented, “The new building (at Llantrisant) will provide us with the space we need to allow our business to expand to meet customer demand. In the eastern US, customers and distributors now have a contact close to home, and a much more convenient place to see our technologies in action. These exciting developments at Llantrisant and Cincinnati will lead to big benefits for our customers and will help to take our business to the next level.”

A Life Measured in Peaks: Honoring Alan George Marshall (1944–2025)
June 18th 2025A pioneer of FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry, Alan G. Marshall (1944–2025), is best known for co-inventing Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS), a transformative technique that enabled ultrahigh-resolution analysis of complex mixtures. Over a career spanning more than five decades at institutions like the University of British Columbia, The Ohio State University, and Florida State University, he published over 650 peer-reviewed papers and mentored more than 150 scientists. Marshall’s work profoundly impacted fields ranging from astrobiology to petroleomics and earned him numerous prestigious awards and fellowships. Revered for his intellect, mentorship, and dedication to science, he leaves behind a legacy that continues to shape modern mass spectrometry.
