Product News (December 2015)

Our most established member of our Silica Family is AMI Silica, which was introduced in 2011 and remains the ideal instrument for boiler water and steam application for values higher than 1,0ppb.

Our Silica family has been complemented with two new analysers, AMI Silitrace and AMI Silitrace Ultra. AMI Silitrace, one of the newest members, is suggested to be used in low temperature applications as the reaction chamber is temperature controlled, which leads to reliable measurements under these conditions. In comparison to the AMI Silica we were able to enhance the measuring range from 0,5ppb to 1'000ppb.

AMI Silitrace Ultra
, the other new member, is our on-line monitor for reactive silica in the lowest range. Our AMI Silitrace Ultra is the only instrument on the market, which is able to measure ultra-low silica concentration levels to fulfil the strict limits of the new guideline of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (0,005ppb to 25ppb).

SWAN Analytische Instrumente AG stays independent

Succession
The founders of SWAN Analytical Instruments are pleased to announce that they have signed an agreement with a financial investor. The Swiss based family office has acquired 35% of the outstanding shares of SWAN and has entered into a long-term agreement with all other shareholders. The transaction provides liquidity to the founders. At the same time, the company can count on an anchor shareholder for its future.

Continuity
Some of the founders will gradually go into partial retirement and a new generation of talented R&D engineers has started to replace them. Members of the management have substantially increased their shareholding in SWAN. The founders, however, will still decide on strategic issues and retain a majority of the votes.

Future Growth

Investors, founders and the management count on employees and associates to maintain and increase SWAN's reputation in the world. The intention is to provide high quality instruments for the customers and attractive employment for associates, operators, distributors and employees.

Thank you all
As we withdraw from the day-to-day business in SWAN we want to express our gratitude for the tremendous support we have had over all these years form our colleagues abroad, beginning in 1991 to the well-established business in 2015. This success story would not have been possible without the commitment of our partners within and outside of the company.

For the founders of SWAN
