Waters Corporation has officially opened its new base in Wilmslow.
Work started on the custom-built mass-spectrometry base in 2012. The 25,000 sq ft headquarters brings together 500 employees from four offices and includes demonstration laboratories, R&D capabilities and an expanded manufacturing capacity.
Brian Smith, vice-president of mass-spectrometry operations at Waters, said: “This new facility marks our continued investment in the region and our dedication to the North West.
"It has been specially designed to enhance collaboration and drive innovation, building on the research and scores of patents that we have already accomplished in the field, right at the heart of where mass spectrometry first began — here in Manchester.”
