Agilent Technologies, a US company which markets high-precision test and measurement solutions in the electronics field, has tied up with a local company, RKe Technologies to expand its reach in Andhra Pradesh and the southern markets.

At a press meet here on Monday, country manager Sudhir Tangri said RKe Tech was a local company with two decades of experience in the field and “it will open up new avenues for Agilent, especially in the defence sector. The state-of-the-art technological solutions of Agilent coupled with the understanding of the local market provided by RKe will be mutually beneficial.”

He said Agilent Technologies was the world's premier measurement company and a technology leader in chemical analysis, life sciences, diagnostics, electronics and communications. Worldwide, the company was employing 20,000 persons in more than 100 countries. Its net revenues amounted to $ 6.6 billion.

Country General Manager Parmeet S. Ahuja said Agilent had set up a R&D facility at Manesar. There was no plan to set up manufacturing facilities in India right now, he added.

C.V.S Prakash Rao, Managing Partner of RKe Technologies, said his company had a vast portfolio in embedded solutions, calibration solutions and micro wave test solutions. The tie-up would be of benefit to both companies and the clients would get better products and services. General Manager (Marketing) Gautam Awasthi also spoke.
