Special Devices, Inc. announces the opening of a new European office in the UK. The new operation will provide the same high levels of customer service and support in Europe that continues to bring success to Special Devices customers in the US.

Ian Crighton, formerly Managing Director of National Instruments UK and Ireland, heads up the European operation. Ian comments, "I am delighted to be part of such a well-run organization. Special Devices recognizes the importance of supporting its customers globally, and the new European operation is a key first step”. He continues: "Our aim is not only to deliver ‘Risk-Free’ turnkey solutions in Europe, but to provide the resources and services required when customers decide to develop a test project themselves."

The new office makes Special Devices the first NI Select Integrator to have operations on three continents. “Our growth is exciting,” says Buck Smith (President of Special Devices). “Ian’s experience is world-class, and we are thrilled to be able to better support our multi-national clients.”
