“Neogen has offered Colitag to the food and beverage industries in the United States and Canada through a distribution agreement since 2004. This acquisition reverses that agreement, as we take ownership of the technology and work with a sister company to distribute the technology to markets outside of our traditional markets — including municipal water departments,” said Dr. Jason Lilly, Neogen’s vice president of corporate development. “The technology represents an extremely good fit for Neogen. The advanced water test is a practical safety solution for our thousands of existing worldwide food safety customers, including many large water bottlers, and provides a substantial opportunity in our international markets.”
