Wells had served for the last year as PNA CEO, spearheading the expansion of the North American arm of Priorclave Ltd.\u2014one of the world&#8217;s leading manufacturers of research-grade laboratory autoclaves. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tony Collins, Managing Director of Priorclave Ltd. UK, noted that &#8220;For almost three decades we&#8217;ve offered sterilizers throughout the world. But for cultural, regulatory, and practical reasons, North America had proven a challenging market. Over the last several years Priorclave North America has been instrumental in overcoming these obstacles and educating customers as to the notable savings they can gain-in reduced energy, water, and maintenance costs-by adopting a proper research-grade laboratory autoclave. We look forward to seeing further growth and success under Barbra&#8217;s leadership.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This management change marks the departure of PNA founder Bernie Youngblood. An entrepreneur at heart, irresistibly driven by his passion for sustainability and the public good, Mr. Youngblood is eager to move on to his Next Big Project. \u201cI\u2019m very excited about Barbra\u2019s new role as President and\u00a0CEO,&#8221; Mr. Youngblood said.\u00a0&#8220;Priorclave has made an incredible impact on the market, while raising customer\u00a0and industry awareness.\u00a0It will be Barbra\\&#8217;s\u00a0leadership that will take Priorclave North America\u00a0to the next level.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Moving forward, PNA will expand their global reach by continuing to build an international team of authorized service agents and dealers, and by increasing their focus on developing and supporting growth in Mexico. Having established a firm toehold among North American researchers and educators, PNA looks forward to expanding their scope to include veterinary labs in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Even as they evolve, Priorclave North America continues in their unflagging support of existing customers, as well as their commitment to environmental sustainability, offering lab autoclaves that regularly use 81% less energy and 93% less water than same-size units performing similar tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Barbra Wells said, &#8220;It&#8217;s an exciting time to be part of the sustainable\/green movement in labs. I\u2019m eager\u00a0to take the helm of a company that\u2019s leading the way in lab efficiency in North America, while continuing to meet and exceed the needs of our customers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Priorclave North America (PNA) is pleased to announce that Barbra Wells has been named their President and CEO.
