>> Anybody know SYB? <<

Message 14853781

Plastics.... Corning, Falcon (again BD), Nalge. Tons of money spent here, but they're low margin business??

Nalge is a major "labware" division of SYB. Spent bazillions of bucks with them, Nunc too. Quality has always been good, IMO.

>> Note that its sales of labware are flat. Maybe NBSC is in an industry wide problem. Could it be that most
biotech/pharma companies already have their basic labware, and are mostly spending money on new
technology? <<

Labware is generally considered to be plastics disposables. There is constant and increasing demand. It's a low margin business, given stiff competition. Some suppliers are doing well with new formats.

NBSC is in equipment/instruments, a different creature.
