FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

IonOpticks, the world’s leading manufacturer of nano-LC chromatography solutions, has today been officially Certified as a Great Place To Work®

As a globally-recognised certification based entirely on independently verified employee feedback, the result is grounded in what employees themselves have said about their experience. The 2026 survey reveals that 90% of our people agreed the company is a great place to work – a strong outcome for a business that has grown rapidly beyond its origins in Melbourne over the last 8 years to support customers and teams across multiple regions.

Great Place to Work® is widely regarded as a global authority on workplace culture and employee experience. Its certification is based solely on direct employee input, making it a practical measure of how a company is experienced day to day, rather than how it presents itself externally.

“A Great Place to Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place to Work. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that IonOpticks stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”

For IonOpticks, the certification arrives at a point in its journey where growth has become both an opportunity and a test. What started as a small, hands-on team has evolved into a globally operating company, with people working across Australia, Europe, and North America. As that expansion has taken place, the challenge has been less about defining the culture, and more about keeping it. The survey result suggests that consistency has held.

“We’ve always known this is a special place to work,” says Stef Perkovic, Head of People and Culture at IonOpticks, who sees the Certification as an opportunity to share that more broadly. “Importantly, it’s not only about recognition, it’s about listening. As we grow, we’re focused on understanding what makes our culture unique and how we can continue to evolve together.”

As IonOpticks continues to grow internationally, that idea of consistency becomes increasingly more complex. Different regions, time zones, and functions introduce natural variation, making the underlying experience of working at IonOpticks even more important. Michael Sinden, Global Marketing Director at IonOpticks, notes that this is where employer brand becomes tangible:

“Our strong employer brand and reputation has become synonymous with the experiences of our people. When your team is spread globally, that experience needs to be so consistent and genuine, regardless of where we’re based. Our growth is clearly not slowing, so the focus needs to be making sure the supportive brand we’ve built isn’t diluted. It should become even stronger as new people join, and that’s what drives loyalty and long-term commitment across the team.”

To be Great Place To Work-Certified in itself doesn’t reflect a milestone reached, but does provide IonOpticks with a clear and independent validation. It reflects that the internal experience of the team has kept pace with the company’s external growth, and reinforces the importance of maintaining that as the company continues to scale.
