April 11 , 2006

MeasureNet has enlisted Metro Tech of Puerto Rico to assist with distribution and service activities for its network-based teaching lab systems in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. The 24-year old company has operated for the past ten years from a new corporate complex in San Lorenzo, approximately 43 km south of the San Juan metroplex and well-placed to enable quick island-wide reach with convenient access to the Marte International Airport.

Julio Cay, founder and president of Metro Tech, has guided the company through an impressive period of growth. Metro Tech currently employees 16 full-time staff and represents some 20 firms that include Brinkman, Jasco, and Buchi in addition to MeasureNet. The company also is ISO 17025 certified. Javier Otero has served as Metro Tech’s General Manager for the past eight years.

“I can’t think of a better partner to help promote the growth of MeasureNet’s Puerto Rican and Caribbean business.” commented Michael Kurutz, MeasureNet’s Director of Marketing. “Julio Cay is well-known in academic and private sector chemistry circles in Puerto Rico and his firm has established a well-deserved reputation for exceptional personalized sales and support. Julio and I have worked together extensively and I’m confident that Metro Tech will strongly complement MeasureNet's reputation as the leading technology provider for teaching laboratory instrumentation. The chemistry and engineering qualifications of his staff are first rate.”
