Geocomp’s Lab Systems division is making inroads into several new international markets. According to Dr. Rachid Hankour, director of Lab Systems, “these markets in North Africa, Eurasia, Southeast Asia, and Australia were particularly hard to crack, as they have traditionally been a stronghold for British-made soil-testing equipment.”
In Malaysia, Dr. Hankour was the keynote speaker for the first short course entitled "Application of Automation in Soil Behavior Investigation"
