“We’ve recently accelerated technology transfer to enhance our production capabilities in Europe and make our technology more easily accessible worldwide,” said Kevin Causey, vice president of business development at MatTek. “Our team in Europe has done a great job of adhering to rigorous training and QC standards to maintain the product quality and service that our customers have come to expect.”
“We’re able to deliver quality products and technical support to European customers with the added benefit of shorter shipping times, easier customs clearance, and lower cost shipments,” said Dr. Silvia Letasiova, managing director of MatTek Europe. “We look forward to continuing to expand our portfolio of MatTek products available from our facility in Bratislava.”
