Home Secretary drops in on Scientifica  

Scientifica was delighted to welcome Rt Hon Theresa May, Home Secretary and MP for Maidenhead, to its Maidenhead manufacturing facility on Nov 23rdlast Friday. Mrs May visited the company, which this year secured a Queen's Award for Enterprise International Trade, to celebrate its recent achievements and find out more about Scientifica's plans for the future.

The company specialises in the manufacture and distribution of equipment for electrophysiology researchers, sellinto into more than 30 countries and has 17 international distributors. The company has grown its sales by at least 20% a year for the last six years.

"The interesting fact about Maidenhead is that there are a lot of small companies doing great things globally - people driving past a company like this won't know that you're exporting 80% of your products," said Mrs May MP during her visit. "Scientifica is a good example of quality of innovation, work and customer service. Maidenhead is proud of having you here and you should be proud too. Congratulations on your award."

Mark Johnson, Managing Director of Scientifica, thanked Mrs May for visiting the company, acknowledging that she is busy but still finds the time to be active in the Maidenhead community.
He added: "Our success it down to the team and it's up to us where we take ourselves in the future. We should all be proud of what we have achieved over the years. We make our own luck and awards like this one are the reward for our hard work."

Excited by the company’s launch into the Multiphoton imaging systems market, he added:
"Our core market is still electrophysiology and we are a strong player. We collaborate with key partners and are looking at EU projects, as well as working with universities in Milan, Paris and US."
