GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Reflecting its commitment to accelerate customer success, Burke Porter Group today announced it has rebranded as Ascential Technologies. In its 70 years of operation, Burke Porter Group has built a reputation as a trusted partner in the design, development, and automation of complex diagnostics, inspection and test processes for the world’s most innovative companies in the medical & life sciences, transportation, and specialty industrial end markets.

As Ascential Technologies, the company is sharpening its focus on technology and data-driven solutions, while also venturing into new markets. This evolution reaffirms its commitment to customers, empowering them to successfully navigate an increasingly complex market landscape.

Ascential Technologies leverages its industry-leading testing and automation capabilities to deliver competitive differentiation and accelerate the pace of innovation for its customers, from the earliest stages to broad commercialization.

Medical & Life Sciences: This division accelerates innovation at every step: ideation, design, manufacturing, automation, commercialization, and support and will now operate as Ascential Medical & Life Sciences. The company’s unique integration of capabilities streamlines the development process and elevates and accelerates go-to-market initiatives for customers' most complex and essential projects. Such projects include genomics, personalized medicine, and new instruments for high-volume consumable testing and diagnostics.

Industrial: This division provides testing products and solutions that enhance safety and efficiency for companies in HVAC, white goods, heavy industry, and energy sectors. It will continue to go to market under the current brand names: Cimat, Titan, Galileo, Lismar, and Kleinknecht.
