Altus Honours Scienscope with ‘Fastest Growing and Most Dynamic Supplier’ Award
April 22, 2025 | Altus GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Altus Group, a leading distributor of capital equipment for the electronics industry in the UK and Ireland, has awarded Scienscope, a global provider of high-quality inspection equipment, with the ‘Fastest Growing and Most Dynamic Supplier’ recognition, celebrating their dynamic growth and innovative approach to electronics manufacturing solutions.
The award was presented by Richard Booth, Chairman and Founder of Altus Group and Danutek Group Companies, to Eddy Linn and Jean Wu of Scienscope at the recent IPC APEX EXPO 2025.
Altus and Scienscope partnered in 2018 to introduce 2D X-ray and X-ray counter technology into the European market. At the time, Scienscope was launching its first generation AXC-800 X-ray Counter, marking the start of a partnership that has grown rapidly over the years.
By 2025, Scienscope has established its European headquarters in Romania, developed a range of 2D X-ray solutions, and expanded into component management technologies, including goods-in scanning, smart storage, in batch as well and automated versions.
Richard Booth, Founder and Chairman of Altus and Danutek Group Companies said: "Looking back at how our partnership has developed, it’s something we’re really proud of. We always aim for success in every partnership we start, but it takes two partners who are aligned and share the same ambitions for that to happen. Ultimately, it’s about a supplier who consistently invests in development, enabling us to find new ways to support their growth and customer acquisition. For me, the shift towards developing a suite of component management solutions and becoming a market leader in that space has been critical to their success. Given that this area is still under-invested across our markets, it will continue to drive our success in the years to come as the technology becomes more widely adopted."
Today, Altus and Danutek sell nearly $2 million worth of Scienscope products annually, reflecting the strength of the partnership built on Scienscope's focused R&D efforts and Altus Group's robust sales and marketing support. This collaboration has played a key role in the companies’ mutual success.
