Hycult Biotech

We have been working with Cambridge Bioscience for over 20 years, and we still keep growing in the business together. For us, the UK market is a valuable market for pioneering our business with our new ideas. They have a highly knowledgeable technical team that is well balanced between application specialists and region specific salespeople. It is easy to get in direct contact with end-user, where sometimes distributors can be reluctant to share. This gives incredible market insights as well as a real chance to connect with customers and solve issues if there are any. Moreover, this synergy is paying off well, in terms of cross selling and tailored solutions for customers.
