Cannon Instrument Company Announces Acquisition of Advanced Technical Support, INC. (d/b/a ATS RHEOSYSTEMS)

State College, PA, March 1, 2013 — Cannon® Instrument Company a global leader in viscosity related products and services announced today that it has completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and business operations of Advanced Technical Support, Inc. (d/b/a ATS RheoSystems®). Specific terms of the transaction were not announced.

Since its founding in 1938 by scientist, inventor and educator Dr. Michael R. Cannon, CANNON® Instrument Company has earned international acclaim for the quality of its viscosity measurement instrumentation and certified reference standards. The company's longstanding emphasis on production of premiere-quality test equipment has kept CANNON at the cutting edge of research and development for viscosity instrumentation serving a variety of industries - including petroleum and petrochemical, polymer, pharmaceutical, medical, foods, paints and coatings.

Over the past 20+ years, ATS RheoSystems, with a highly-trained staff of qualified expert rheologists, has offered comprehensive analytical instrumentation, rheological consulting and contract materials testing, test method and applications development, comprehensive hands-on training, and technical support and services. Areas of specialization include rheological instrumentation and measurements using both research level rheometers and high-end viscometers, capillary rheometers, dynamic shear rheometers (DSR) for asphalt testing and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA).

C. Patrick Maggi, President of CANNON Instrument Company: "This merger combines a world-class portfolio of rheology experts with wide-ranging application knowledge and trusted instrumentation to offer truly cutting-edge application solutions for our customers. Our joint mission will be to continue pioneering rheological and viscosity measurement technologies, applications, and instrumentation with improved precision and throughput. The ATS facility in NJ will provide a new base for joint application, contract testing, and service work for our customers in the mid-Atlantic region. We are excited about the opportunity to provide our customers with more advanced materials characterization."

Worldwide After Sales and Service Support for users of REOLOGICA
Instruments AB; agreement with ATS RheoSystems

Malvern Instruments is pleased to announce an agreement with ATS RheoSystems (ATS) for ATS to provide worldwide service and support for users of REOLOGICA Instruments AB rheology systems. ATS RheoSystems is an independent company with 18 years experience maintaining, calibrating, and servicing REOLOGICA systems in the US and Americas.

REOLOGICA Instruments AB ceased trading on 23 March 2010, and an administrator was appointed to wind up the affairs of the business. Malvern Instruments purchased from the administrator certain assets of REOLOGICA Instruments AB but did not purchase REOLOGICA as a continuing business and did not assume any of the contractual liabilities that were formerly the responsibility of REOLOGICA Instruments AB. However, we have been seeking a solution for REOLOGICA customers needing service and assistance and we believe ATS, with their extensive experience in maintaining REOLOGICA systems in the US and Americas, will provide the highest level of support achievable in these circumstances.

The agreement concluded with ATS RheoSystems covering all aspects of service, calibration, and support for REOLOGICA instrumentation, including supply of spare parts and contract laboratory work.
