Company Meeting

BRANDTECH® Scientific held its company meeting in Westbrook, CT this month, gathering colleagues from Germany representing BRAND®, VACUUBRAND®, and Vitlab® along with our North American team. The event was geared toward enhancing professional development through specialized breakout sessions, offering hands-on product training and encouraging group discussions. Complementing these technical sessions were company-wide presentations, which reviewed current company affairs and future strategic initiatives.

Beyond the professional agenda, the event also prioritized engaging team-building activities such as competitive corn hole games and volleyball matches. These activities not only bolstered camaraderie but also nurtured a strong team spirit among attendees. In essence, this gathering served as a key platform for enhancing skills, fostering collaboration, and unifying the BRANDTECH team.

Run For a Cause

Recently, some of our BRANDTECH® team members participated in the Rose Arts Road Races 5K run to support the Larry Pontbriant Athletic Safety Fund. The fund aims to raise awareness about Sudden Cardiac Arrest, encourage CPR and AED training, and raise money to purchase AEDs for schools and athletic fields. 

At the start of the race, it was announced that over 250 people had shown up, which was truly inspiring. The event highlighted our commitment to community involvement and the importance of supporting lifesaving initiatives. Our team members Trey, Jordan, Diane, Rachelle and Eileen participated to  embrace team-building and to support the cause.

Sales Spotlight

This month we welcome BRANDTECH's two newest sales representatives - Tara Worthley based in the Philadelphia region, and Mark Fernandez, PhD located in Seattle!

Tara Worthley

In Philadelphia, Tara's depth of experience in and out of the lab has her excited to work with BRANDTECH's more specialized portfolio. "I'm most looking forward to presenting the LHS robot to customers. The software is very easy - using liquid handlers at the bench and now being able to teach customers about ours has me feeling like I've come full circle and found my niche!" Tara loves spending time with her family and two young daughters at Dorney Park, and enjoying some football and wings in the fall!

 

Mark Fernandez, PhD

On the opposite coast, Mark sees immense opportunity as the first BRANDTECH representative in the Pacific Northwest. "Working as a scientist for over a decade, I wish I had 99% of the BRANDTECH catalog. There is a ton of potential out here, and I'm looking forward to developing the BRANDTECH footprint in this territory." As for his time outside of work, Mark is an avid fly fisherman. If you find yourself in his area, he may even share a secret spot or two!
