Osmosis has opened a Scottish office, in Livingston, its second regional division this year. The move comes six months after the hardware and software distributor started its Dublin office, becoming Ireland's first Authorised Microsoft OEM Product Distributor. Osmosis Scotland's general manager, Nick Grecian, described the Scottish market as "booming", but said its present channel was lacking the necessary support and financial investment. Osmosis Technologies, started ten years ago, is also a major distributor of IBM, LG, Panasonic and Samsung. The company said the Dublin division had quadrupled its business in its first half year. ®
