Jena, Germany (ots) - SIRS-Lab, a biotechnological company based in Jena (Germany), announces distribution agreements with four European partners covering 12 European countries. During a sales meeting on 16 and 17 March in Jena, representatives of the involved companies signed the contracts.

BioCat GmbH, located in Heidelberg, will distribute SIRS-Lab products in Germany and Switzerland. Distribution in the Czech Republic as well as in Slovakia will be provided by GeneTiCA. The Austrian genXpress GmbH is SIRS-Labs distribution partner in Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary. Customers in the United Kingdom and Ireland can order SIRS-Lab products through the UK distributor at Stratech Scientific Ltd.

By signing these agreements, SIRS-Lab reacts to its increasing turnover and product demand. Dr. Stefan RuƟwurm, SIRS-Labs CEO, said: "We were already present in the majority of these countries but we feel that we need close partnerships with local service providers in order to provide our customers with the best possible solution for their needs". Just three years after foundation, SIRS-Labs portfolio already includes 12 innovative products and services, with more products in development.

SIRS-Labs distribution partners are pleased with the negotiated agreements. "For us, as a company with extensive experience in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, it is important to maintain our position as a supplier of cutting edge products. Selling SIRS-Lab products will allow us to maintain this market position", expects Dr. Josef Fiser of the Czech company GeneTiCA.
