Quantum Design (QD) is pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of the Oxford NanoScience division of Oxford Instruments.
This acquisition unites two industry leaders with a combined legacy of more than 100 years of experience and innovation in cryogenics, materials science, and microscopy. The expanded, shared product catalog delivers proven solutions, including automated materials characterization with automated field and temperature control, ultra-low-temperature sub-kelvin cryostats and dilution refrigerators, high-field superconducting magnets, a full range of optical cryostats, and a global sales and customer support organization rated among the best in the world.
“I am excited by the potential this acquisition brings to the future of these great companies,” said Stuart Schoenmann, CEO of Quantum Design. “Our product lines are complementary, and the synergy of what we can accomplish by combining our two strengths to bring new products to the market will be transformative. QD’s wide range of measurement options, combined with Oxford’s dilution refrigerators and other cryostats, has R&D teams from both companies excited and eager to begin our collaboration in earnest. We strongly believe these innovations will advance research in many communities and industries.”
