I am very sorry to see this happen again to a great company who bent over
backwards to assist customers. I hope ThemoShandonFisherRichardRaymond (to
be continued) will start to keep the parts that made Richard Allen, Raymond
A. Lamb and others great to work with
I am also very sorry to see Tonia and Jerry go.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Strengthens Anatomical Pathology Portfolio with
Acquisition of Raymond A. Lamb
WALTHAM, Mass. - Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving
science, today announced it has acquired Raymond A. Lamb Ltd., a
manufacturer of
histology and anatomical pathology products based in Eastbourne, U.K., near
London.
In business since 1964, Raymond A. Lamb has grown to become a global
provider of
products for the pathology laboratory. Recently, its focus has been on
systems
that automate the labeling and tracking of slides and cassettes that carry
patient tissue samples, reducing the possibility of errors during their
processing, storage and retrieval. The company has had a longstanding
relationship with the anatomical pathology business of Thermo Fisher as a
supplier of labeling products for cassettes and glass slides, as well as
other
anatomical pathology equipment.
"Our anatomical pathology customers - in both clinical and research markets
-
are demanding better solutions for tracking the increasing number of samples
that they need to process and diagnose," said Marijn E. Dekkers, president
and
chief executive officer of Thermo Fisher Scientific. "This acquisition
brings
new-generation systems that can be integrated with our existing portfolio of
anatomical pathology equipment and consumables to create a more efficient,
and
reliable, workflow."
Raymond A. Lamb had revenues of approximately $9 million in 2007, and will
be
integrated into Thermo Fisher's Analytical Technologies Segment.
