Nordson Corporation, Westlake, Ohio, USA, announces that it has signed a license and distribution agreement with Sensory Analytics, a leading developer of innovative coating measurement systems, for the exclusive use of certain of its SpecMetrix* coating measurement technologies within new Nordson coating measurement offerings for container manufacturers. The first Nordson cScan+** coating measurement systems featuring SpecMetrix technology will be introduced to the global packaging industry at Booth # 3-333 at the MetPack 2008 Show in Essen, Germany this week.

"We are confident that our new cScan+ coating measurement offerings, powered by SpecMetrix technology, will help improve the coating quality and reduce the coating costs of container manufacturers worldwide," stated Doug Bloomfield, Vice President of the Industrial Coating and Automotive Systems Division at Nordson. "Nordson appreciates the unique challenges being faced by global manufacturers of coated products, and we remain committed to working closely with them to ensure their continued success."
