Headquartered in Paris, France, AIT supplies public and private researchers and pharmaceutical laboratories.  The company manufactures proprietary components and distributes a large range of consumables for chromatography and analytical chemistry, including exclusive distribution of products from numerous top brands.

With the acquisition of AIT, Calibre Scientific gains a strategic partner to continue its growth in life sciences.  “Integrating AIT into Calibre Scientific will further strengthen our activities and service capability in France and also enable us to plug AIT’s proprietary product portfolio into Calibre Scientific’s vast direct and distribution channels worldwide,” said Pascal Aznar, owner of AIT.

Ben Travis, CEO of Calibre Scientific, had this to say about the acquisition: “AIT has developed deep and valuable partnerships across Europe due, in large part, to their expertise and customer service.  These values mirror those of Calibre Scientific, and we look forward to building on those partnerships, combining AIT’s products with ours, and offering a more comprehensive solution for our customers.”
