(Westchester, PA, USA), has announced that it has entered into a joint distribution agreement with HiMedia Laboratories in Mumbai (India) to support the chemical and laboratory supply requirements of Hi Media Laboratories.

The Indian subcontinent is an important growth market for VWR, a company that offers more than a million products from different manufacturers to customers throughout North America and Europe. VWR's business is highly diversified across a spectrum of products and services, customer groups, and geography. The company's primary customers work in the pharmaceutical, life science, chemical, technology, food processing, and consumer product industries. Other customers include universities and research institutes, governmental agencies, environmental testing organizations, and primary and secondary schools.

HiMedia has developed its own technology for the manufacture of culture media and has developed more than 2,000 varieties over the years. HiMedia products are used throughout the world.

"VWR has a long standing history of being a global leader in the distribution of laboratory products in North America and Western Europe,” said Dr. G.M. Warke, CEO of HiMedia Laboratories. "We are proud to be selected as VWR's strategic partner to bring its wide range of high quality products to the laboratory community in India. Given that VWR is already an exclusive distributor for HiMedia's innovative product line of Hi-Veg microbiological and cell culture media for North America, it makes for a strong mutual relationship.”
