New Partnership for CSMA and TWI
CSMA Ltd and TWI have put in place a partnership that gives clients of both organisations access to leading edge materials characterisation and analysis services.CSMA is part of Stoke based CERAM, the internationally renowned centre for materials and technology, while TWI is the world's leading knowledge centre for the joining of materials, with offices and facilities across the UK and worldwide.
Both world leaders in their fields, the companies believe that this form of strategic alliance is essential to remaining at the forefront of technological developments and customer requirements in provision of analysis and characterisation services.
Tony Kinsella, managing director of CSMA, comments: “Sound, commercially viable application of technology to meet specific customer product development needs and process problems, is not just down to the availability of suitable equipment. The expertise and experience of the scientists and engineers who work with it is crucial.
“There is a lot of excellent equipment available for use in academia, often at very low cost. However, there is often little experienced support for the equipment and its application, leading to poor overall data and often wrong conclusions”.
The TWI/CSMA partnership, which commences from 1st May 2005, overcomes this issue by joining two unique sets of resources.
Dr Andrew Sturgeon of TWI comments: “The latest equipment and expertise available at CSMA is complimentary to the facilities and expertise at TWI, and will allow us to enhance our analysis capability and range services for industry.”
