Walter Niehoff Scholarship IBA enters an exclusive
agreement with Dasheng
IBA has extended its offering by adding the Dasheng
Electron beam accelerators to its portfolio of high current
IBA-Dynamitron® (formerly called RDI Dynamitron®). As of
1st April 2010, IBA will be the exclusive distributor of the
Dasheng E-beam accelerators outside of China. IBA will
also be responsible for providing installation and support
services to Dasheng E-beam accelerator customers outside
of China.
“Not only will this collaboration extend our IBA Dynamitron
portfolio but Dasheng will also bring in the collaboration
its expertise in cable and heat-shrink products, reel-to-reel
under beam systems, irradiation process and related
compounds,” said Serge Lamisse, president of IBA
Industrial. “Our customers will have access to both product
lines. Dasheng E-beam accelerators are mainly targeted for
R&D facilities or lower current applications, while the original
IBA Dynamitron will focus on high current, high throughput
applications,” he explained.
“Entering such collaboration with IBA allows us to extend
our geographical coverage while offering our users the
support and the service of IBA around the world,” added
Mr Kenneth Hsiao, CEO of Dasheng.
Dasheng E-beam accelerators and IBA Dynamitrons are
high technology accelerators designed for both industrial
processing and research applications. Wire and cable
insulation crosslinking with electron beam improves
cable insulation strength, durability and resistance with
higher standards than any other technology. Every year, a
greater percentage of automotive and aeronautics cables
are treated with electron beam processing.
