Astell
Astell Scientific has announced the opening of its US subsidiary, Astell Inc, in Charlotte, North Carolina. With Astell Scientific in the UK currently having great success exporting to more than 60 countries worldwide, the company is confident that its new base in America will further contribute to the significant overseas growth it has seen in recent years.
The opening of this new office will enable the Astell brand to gain further recognition in the US market. Over the last four years, Astell’s export sales team has been cultivating strong relationships with US companies, so setting up a North American subsidiary was the obvious next step to ensuring a strong foothold and presence in the US sterilisation market.
Rich Apolinar, the newly appointed CEO of Astell Inc, said: “ The development and expansion of Astell’s business into the US is a very exciting opportunity. Our in-house knowledge and experience, combined with the many technical advantages and cost-effective advantages that Astell can offer over the competition, should ensure our success and growth in the evolving US markets.” Apolinar has over 25 years’ experience in the sterilisation industry, having worked in various engineering and business development positions globally. Along with his expertise, he has developed the management skills, market knowledge and in-depth technical expertise to support successful growth.
Whilst Astell Scientific products speak for themselves in terms of quality and application, having an in-house expert in the US will prove invaluable to customers. Astell Inc will ensure that US customers receive exceptional practical advice and specific application assistance when choosing an autoclave or steriliser. Professional after-sales service and support will also be provided, ensuring customer and satisfaction during the lifetime of the product.
