Responding boldly to the unprecedented credit crisis affecting many of its customers worldwide, Multivac is, for a limited time, offering qualified buyers direct vendor financing at a very attractive rate of LIBOR plus 100 basis points on new equipment purchases. Terms of 12, 24 and 36 months are eligible for the incentive rate. Further terms and conditions are available through company representatives.

"Our financial strength and industry expertise have fortuitously placed us in a unique position to lend a helping hand to our loyal customers in these difficult economic times,"says Jan Erik Kuhlmann, Multivac's president and CEO. "During a period like this, when even the best companies may find it challenging to raise capital to invest in their businesses, Multivac is privileged with the resources to make very attractive funding available."

Multivac has set aside a significant amount of capital in order to accommodate customers within the program, notes Kuhlmann. "We encourage interested customers to contact their Multivac representative without delay, however, as this program is being offered globally on a first-come, first-served basis."
