Balazs' ultra-trace water analysis capability complements Air Liquide Electronics' ultra-trace chemical analysis capability and establishes a new technological leader.
The new business unit of Air Liquide will operate from Balazs' new state- of-the-art clean room facility in Fremont, Calif., and will maintain existing facilities in Dallas and Austin, Texas, and at its customer-dedicated onsite labs.All current employees of Balazs will receive an offer of employment with the new entity, which when combined will employ approximately 100 people dedicated to providing analytical services in North America.Owner Marjorie Balazs, who founded Balazs labs in 1975, will play a continuing role in providing scientific consulting to the labs."Air Liquide has a unique network of onsite services that were the best match for our business model.It just makes perfect sense, and I am confident that our customers will recognize the value of this world-class combination of expertise," she said.
