Our test and measurement, automated test and semiconductor businesses share focus on growth opportunities in the communications and electronics sector, while our life sciences and chemical analysis business focuses on growth opportunities in life sciences, as well as chemical analysis in the environmental, chemical, food and petrochemical markets. We sell our products primarily through our direct sales force, but we also utilize distributors, resellers, telesales and electronic commerce.
