I am excited to announce that as of November 13, 2009, Concept to Volume B.V. (C2V) has become part of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. through acquisition.  As part of Thermo Fisher, C2V’s micro-GC products and customized MEMS solutions will now be supported and sold under Thermo Fisher’s premier Thermo Scientific brand.  Thermo Fisher’s breadth and depth covers many complementary products, services and markets, and their extensive commercial organization and channel reach will provide exposure to a very broad set of customers for our products.

As a relation of C2V, we understand that you may have questions about how our integration into Thermo Fisher could potentially impact your business, as well as your commercial and personal relationships with C2V.  I want to assure you that Thermo Fisher values our relationship with you, and our team is committed to working with you to address any changes and ensure the transition occurs as seamlessly as possible.  This communication is only the first step towards achieving that goal.

Thermo Fisher and C2V will be collaborating on the integration in the coming months, and we look forward to working proactively with you to address any changes that may be requested. If you should have any immediate questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or your current C2V contact. You can also find out more about Thermo Fisher at www.thermofisher.com.
