CERAM Surface and Materials Analysis and PRA Join Forces in Benelux

CERAM Surface and Materials Analysis (CSMA), Europe's leading surface and materials analysis company, has joined forces with the Paint Research Association (PRA) to develop its business in the Benelux territory.

As of 01 October 2008, Tanja Moody, an associate consultant with PRA, will be acting as the agent for Benelux. A graduate in Chemical Technology, Tanja has held positions at TNO, Buckman, Calgon, Vos, Brenntag and Nuplex Resins. Her knowledge and expertise is far-reaching, particularly in the chemicals, coatings, paper, resins and water treatment industries.

Tanja will be fully supported by CERAM's UK-based surface analysis team which is led by Chris Pickles. Looking forward to being able to extend their presence and services in the Benelux territory, thanks to the agreement with PRA, Chris says:

“For several years this region has been an important geographical market for us.
With so many technically-based industries, it is an ideal place for CSMA to deliver its world-class surface characterisation services to the manufacturing and R&D activities of these companies.”

“We are very pleased that Tanja will be able to provide this local service to CERAM clients and that this collaboration will also enable us to provide an extended range of expert technical services to companies involved in surface coatings, chemicals and their uses.”
