LTE Scientific Assists Frontline Fight against Covid-19 and Prepares for Significant Growth

LTE Scientific specialises in the manufacture, supply and service / testing of medical and laboratory equipment including autoclaves, medical sterilisers, endoscope drying/storage and decontamination solutions plus a wide range of laboratory thermal equipment.

It has kept up with demand and production throughout the virus outbreak to enable it to continue to supply its essential equipment and service to healthcare providers and laboratories across the UK.

LTE is pushing forward with its investment and expansion plans to ensure it continues to be an international market leader.

This is reflected in the announcement of a number of key internal promotions across all departments and on-going investment in training and recruitment.
