Success for Palintest at nebusiness Awards

This success follows on the back of their recent recognition as winner of the nebusiness award 2009 for Tyneside and Northumberland in the same category. UK Trade & Investment, the judges for these awards, based their decision on the level of exports relative to the size of the company; products and services sold without the benefit of export credits; the barriers overcome in offering these overseas (language, regulations), and the degree to which they are new and non-traditional in their markets.

Palintest is a world leader in water analysis technology and instrumentation, and its products are bought and used globally across many applications to ensure the supply of clean and safe water. Recent developments include on-site test kits for Arsenic in drinking water, expected to be very successful in regions where this is already a recognised problem such as Southern Asia and South America. The test kits they produce are excellent at determining concentration levels of chemical compounds in water samples, ensuring precise and accurate results with portable instrumentation, ideal for use in the field.

Since 2000, over 2,500 companies have been entered for the awards, which are judged by over 100 senior business figures in the North East of England. Palintest dedicates the honour to its staff and excellent worldwide distributor network for helping them to achieve the success.
