Schaffner divests test systems division.

The article reports on the decision of The Schaffner group to divest the test systems division as of September 2005. According to Paul Dixon, managing director of Schaffner in Great Britain, Schaffner plans to divest the test systems division because the company is not becoming an international leader in the test and measurement business. He claims that in today's globalized business environment, companies must consistently focus their attention on those areas of their business where they can achieve dominance.
