PartnerTech grows along with Gyros

Gyros AB, a world leader in the miniaturization and integration of laboratory
applications, is growing rapidly. As a result, it has entered into a long-term
cooperation agreement with PartnerTech. Worth approximately SEK 150 million over
2½ years, the agreement covers production of the Gyrolab Workstation
microlaboratory. PartnerTech will deliver approximately SEK 30 million in
products during 2007. 


Jan Würtz, CEO of Gyros AB, says that "we have great confidence in PartnerTech
as a contract manufacturer. Thanks to PartnerTech's extensive knowledge,
capacity and flexibility, Gyros can maintain its focus on core operations.
PartnerTech's skills and experience have also contributed to measures that add
up to major cost savings when manufacturing the product."


Gyros's area of speciality is quantitative protein analysis for research, drug
discovery and development applications. The company's unique microfluidics-based
technology allows its customers to perform protein analysis and analytical
development much more cost-effectively.The longstanding relationship between
PartnerTech and Gyros is constantly expanding. PartnerTech already has
responsibility for producing the entire Gyrolab Workstation LIF analytical tool,
from component purchases to finished product. PartnerTech's Åtvidaberg plant has
specialist expertise in this type of product. 


Mikael Jonson, CEO of PartnerTech AB, says that "the cooperation with Gyros is
an excellent illustration of how our business concept and know-how can offer our
customers the freedom and leeway to develop and market their core expertise. I
am very pleased by Gyros's advances and proud that we are an integral part of
its ongoing expansion."
