New ownership! After a distinguished and enjoyable career spanning close to two decades at Katahdin’s helm, Daphne and Bill Warren have sold the business. The new owner, Michael Flanders, has spent much of his career in executive roles for major U.S. corporations. A native of Vermont, he is especially pleased to return to northern New England. Taking on the challenges of small business ownership has so far been a smooth transition for Mike, made all the easier by the good natured, highly skilled and dedicated staff at Katahdin Analytical.
