Philadelphia Scientific marks a milestone

Philadelphia Scientific this year celebrates its 20th anniversary in Australia.

This milestone coincides with a move into a new facility. This facility triples the floor space for parts and product stock. Also, it improves the company’s capacity to accept the larger shipments it is now regularly importing from its sister companies. 

“Furthermore, it provides additional office and meeting spaces for our growing staff numbers,” says Chris Parkinson, Asia Pacific region director. “It's the perfect place to support our continued growth in the area, growth that is driven by our fundamentals - the best products that are competitively priced with great support.”

Philadelphia Scientific introduced many everyday battery products we find in use worldwide and today manages battery rooms throughout the region and is relied on by major distribution centre operators to reduce their battery operating costs. 

Looking ahead, Parkinson says products for the future include lithium battery monitoring and management, even faster and safer battery changing, and alerts so that operations never face a flat battery. “The next 20 years promise even more innovation and growth than the first 20.”

"We thank our Philadelphia Scientific family, our supplier partners, and all our awesome customers that have supported us over the first 20 years - and we look forward to fulfilling your battery technology requirements for years to come," he adds.
