Wheaton and Duran Group, Two Laboratory Consumables Providers, Merge

Wheaton (Millville, New Jersey), a US-based provider of laboratory glassware and consumables, has been acquired by Duran Group (Wertheim, Germany), a European provider of laboratory glassware.

The new combined company will benefit from a broader base from which to grow their portfolio of products. “This acquisition represents a new chapter for Wheaton and will allow us to accelerate a number of growth programs already in progress,” Wayne Brinster, president and CEO of Wheaton, said in a statement. “In the areas of products, infrastructure, talent, and focus, the two organizations complement each other very well.”
