Interim Managing Director of Weiss Technik Malcolm Youll said: “I am delighted to announce that the operational challenges the business faced during 2018 are now behind us.

“The tremendous hard work by the UK team, continued investment by our German parent company in our infrastructure, new personnel across all areas of the business and a new customer-focused service strategy are all contributing to a re-invigorated business. As such, we are now set to consolidate and grow our market-leading status in the UK.

“The Weiss Technik brand is highly respected in all of the markets we compete in and the environmental test chambers we design, manufacture and service are truly world-class. Our specialists understand the dynamics of the business sectors we operate in better than most.

“We appreciate the challenges our customers face as they operate in increasingly competitive market environments. That’s why we are totally committed to supporting the development of our customers’ businesses, by providing the products, technical advice, financial options and specialist services they need, around the clock.

“During 2019, we will be launching a number of new initiatives. The first of these will be the introduction of a ‘New for Old’ scheme, whereby operators of older climatic test chambers can easily upgrade their equipment for new, state-of-the-art, Weiss Technik models, in a very cost-efficient package. Watch this space as details will soon be announced.

“I would like to wish all our valued customers a successful and prosperous 2019.”
