Agar Scientific has been acquired by Calibre Scientific

Agar Scientific Ltd. (Agar) has been sold to Molecular Dimensions Limited, a subsidiary of Calibre Scientific, Inc., a US-based life sciences company, owned by international private investment firm StoneCalibre.

Agar is a global leader in the distribution and manufacture of electron microscopy consumables. The business was created as the result of an MBO carve out backed by Foresight Group in 2016.

It will enable Calibre to expand their customer base and open up new markets in high growth areas.

Calibre Scientific represents a portfolio of niche life science companies, across various key verticals, with an unrivaled ability to address the unique challenges of their respective markets. Through a combination of acquisitions and organic growth, its global reach extends into over 100 countries, empowering customers all over the world.
