Following the acquisition of Quantitech by Gasmet Technologies, Ken Roberts has been appointed as Managing Director of the UK-based environmental monitoring and occupational hygiene testing equipment specialist.
'This is an exciting and challenging role,' said Roberts. 'Keith Golding ran this business for more than 33 years, creating a strong reputation for high quality products with outstanding levels of service, and I am greatly looking forward to the next phase of Quantitech’s development.
'There are significant growth opportunities in the UK and Ireland, particularly in the emissions monitoring sector, and we will be investing in the resources needed to make that happen.'
Roberts has more than 35 years of experience in the monitoring instrumentation sector, beginning in 1981 as a junior service engineer and progressing to senior management positions. His career to-date has included 11 years as Managing Director of a UK gas detection and emissions monitoring business, which experienced high levels of growth under his guidance.
Looking forward, Roberts said: 'As a subsidiary of Gasmet, FTIR analysers will be a key focus for Quantitech, however, we will also offer an important range of other technologies and systems as part of our strategy to help customers demonstrate regulatory compliance, improve process efficiency, and protect health, safety and the environment.'
