Thermo Electron's Dekkers Comments on Growth Plans, Economy
2004-10-26 18:53 (New York)

By Samantha Zee
Oct. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Thermo Electron Corp. Chief Executive
Officer Marijn Dekkers comments on growth for the Waltham,
Massachusetts, company, which makes analytical and measurement
instruments for laboratories and manufacturing.

Dekkers sees ``good growth in instruments'' used for life
and laboratory sciences, called mass spectrometers that are used
by scientists doing research on disease.
``We have new mass spectrometers that are helping
researchers find proteins in the body they couldn't find before.
It's helping with diseases like cancer. This is a hot area right
now.''
The company also makes measurement and control instruments
used in the production of basic commodities.
``Now that prices for basic raw materials have gone up and
the economy has improved, our customers have begun to invest in
their plants. This is where our instruments are being sold into.
``This is the first quarter that this has kicked in. It's a
very positive development.''
