Expenditure Budget

March 9, 2012, WINOOSKI VT, USA — In support of our philosophy to manufacture and develop products exclusively in Vermont, USA, BioTek is committing a record amount for new 2012 capital investments. Highlights include:

New computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines in manufacturing and enhanced tooling and test equipment for product assembly
A new teleconference system supporting communication between BioTek's Vermont headquarters and our international sales and service offices in Singapore, China, South Korea, Germany, Switzerland, France and the United Kingdom
Additional laboratory instrumentation to support BioTek's growing application research in molecular diagnostics and cellular biology

"We are one of the few remaining microplate instrumentation suppliers that manufactures 100% of their products in the US," notes Briar Alpert, BioTek's President and CEO. "The capital investments that we are making this year will further enhance the quality and responsiveness of our manufacturing team, while improving the cost competiveness of the Company's products."

Addressing BioTek's new teleconference system, Mr. Alpert continues, “Teleconferencing at all BioTek locations will allow us to better communicate and coordinate through the entire global organization, and most importantly will provide better and faster customer feedback to our Vermont headquarters."
