Customer story: Thermo Fisher

Thermo Fisher Scientific (external link)is the “the world leader in serving science”, and it’s for good reason. Instruments designed and manufactured by the company can be found in countless labs around the planet, supporting researchers from across the spectrum – academia, industry, healthcare, environment, and quality control. In addition to supplying instruments, Thermo Fisher also services, calibrates, and maintains instrumentation.

Thermo Fisher has been operating here in Aotearoa New Zealand for more than 30 years, from bases in Auckland, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch. For all that time, they’ve had a close relationship with MSL. As Service Manager Grant Stronach describes it,

“It's a two-way relationship. We calibrate and maintain a lot of equipment for MSL within their laboratories, but MSL is also our supplier of choice when it comes to calibrating our IANZ standards, which we use to calibrate our customers’ equipment. MSL scientists also act as technical advisors for IANZ assessments, and they’re always tough but fair. Ultimately, MSL helps us to maintain our ISO qualifications."
