Moovement in the dairy testing market

Perten Instruments has announced the acquisition of Delta Instruments, a manufacturer of analysers and testing equipment for milk and dairy products.

Netherlands-based Delta has a long history of product innovation in milk analysis. Its infrared analysers and somatic cell counters are used by leading dairy companies worldwide.

Perten, headquartered in Sweden, provides instruments for compositional and functional analysis of an array of dairy products and ingredients including stabilisers, cream, rennet, dairy powders, butter, cheese and whey products. Perten’s product range includes NIR instruments for both at-line and online use, texture analysers and rheology equipment.

“The strength of the Perten sales and service organisation coupled with access to the functional and online analysers will be of real benefit to our dairy customers worldwide,” said Pete Emond, managing director of Delta Instruments.
