Dia-Stron acquires Bossa Nova Vision

Dia-Stron, a market leader in hair mechanical testing, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Bossa Nova Vision, effective since 1 May.

Dia-Stron and Bossa Nova Vision are both global leaders in hair and skin testing. Together they will expand their reach in delivering innovative measurement solutions to the personal care industry, supporting customers with the development of hair and skin care products, cosmetic ingredients, hair styling tools, and ongoing hair research. Following the acquisition, both companies will combine their metrology and engineering expertise to better serve customers and the personal care industry.

Yann Leray, Dia-Stron Managing Director, says: “Acquiring Bossa Nova Vision means offering a more comprehensive product range to our new and existing customers, globally. We’ll also add hair visual evaluation to our contract testing services in the UK application laboratory. We are so glad to have this team on-board.”

Sébastien Breugnot, Bossa Nova Vision General Manager, adds: “The whole team is thrilled to be part of the Dia-Stron family. Together we can build on complementary technical know-how to bring innovative testing products to market, combining imaging and mechanical measurements. Stay tuned for exciting joint developments in the near future.”

Synergies to increase testing automation

For our global customer-base, there will be no change to communications or operations in the immediate future. Any future organisational changes will be communicated both publicly and directly to customers.

Both companies share the same mission: customer excellence, delivering measurement innovations to support R&D communities in generating scientific insights and breakthroughs, and increasing testing automation for more productivity, driving data quality and analytics.

Dia-Stron and Bossa Nova Vision instrumentation can be found around the world, in the laboratories of major cosmetic companies, such as L’Oréal, P&G, Unilever, and Henkel, and at hair appliance producers such as Philips, GHD etc. as well as ingredient manufacturers like Croda, BASF, Dow, Solvay and Symrise to name a few.
