GBC - Sanctions Violation
description
GBC Scientific Equipment, an Australian manufacturer of scientific instruments, has recently relocated most of its production facilities to Malaysia. This is due to the obstruction of several deals GBC maintained with Iran for scientific equipment, notably analytical instrumentation, that the Australian government says could be used for Iran's nuclear program. Further, equipment, identical to the type made by GBC, was seen at an Iranian trade show in late April though it used branding of an American company that says it has not done business with Iran since 2004.
