LaMotte Company has opened a new facility near Newark.
LaMotte’s expansion to Delaware was prompted by sales growth. The 79,000-square-foot plant was designed to include the latest in world-class manufacturing technologies and techniques with room for future growth.
The new site increases LaMotte’s production capacity for its SpinDisk and Test Strip product lines. LaMotte’s Research & Development capabilities were also expanded with the addition of a 6,000-square-foot research and development lab.
Production and support staff have been hired and trained to begin operations. LaMotte will continue to hire additional staff for both its Newark and Chestertown sites. The company is headquartered in Chestertown.
“This location is highly valuable for us given the skilled and educated local workforce and its proximity to global shipping hubs,” said LaMotte CEO Scott Amsbaugh. “It is critical in our capacity expansion to meet our customers’ growing demands for LaMotte’s products.”
Since 1919, LaMotte has provided water analysis equipment and reagents.
Services incude electronic instrumentation, analytical reagents, and portable test kits for chemical analysis in dozens of applications.
Northern Delaware has long been a center for the instrument and testing industry, a category that includes operations of Agilent, Siemens and Hollogic.
