Mesa Labs Buys ATI Atlas

(RTTNews) - Mesa Laboratories, Inc. (MLAB) said Friday that its subsidiary Amilabo SAS has acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of ATI Atlas Ltd.

ATI, located near London, is a distributor of Mesay's biological indicator products in the UK.

Biological indicators are used to assess the effectiveness of sterilization processes, including steam, gas, hydrogen peroxide and radiation, in the hospital, dental, medical device and pharmaceutical industries. ATI has been a distributor of Mesa's BI products for nearly 16 years.

After a short transition period, Amilabo will service the markets in the UK from its office near Lyon, France. Centralized supply of BI products from Lyon will improve the service to ATI's customers by increasing product availability and reducing shipping time.
