In a move that reflects sustained sales growth throughout North America, powder characterisation company Freeman Technology has appointed ATS Scientific Inc as its distributor for Canada. Headquartered in Burlington, Ontario, ATS Scientific now assumes responsibility for sales of Freeman Technology’s FT4 Powder Rheometer® throughout this territory.

Tim Freeman, Managing Director of Freeman Technology, said: “I am delighted to be working with ATS Scientific Inc whose highly experienced team shares our dedication to customer support. We concluded the distribution agreement in the latter part of 2012 and already we see promising signs of how the market in Canada will develop for us in 2013. It is just one year since we established Freeman Technology Inc to serve the USA, so it is especially pleasing that we are now able to further extend the support we provide to customers throughout North America.”

ATS Scientific’s National Sales Manager Gilles Groulx, said: “Freeman Technology’s FT4 Powder Rheometer is an excellent fit within our portfolio of analytical instruments and materials characterisation systems. We aim to deliver the highest levels of sales and service support to the powder processing community in Canada and very much look forward to working closely with Freeman Technology’s own powder experts and application specialists.”
