Company News
MEAS Acquires Gentech International
On October 31, 2011, Measurement Specialties acquired Gentech International Limited ("Gentech"), a designer and manufacturer of position sensors used largely for tank liquid level measurement, including urea tank level in heavy truck SCR systems, for approximately £6.5 million. Gentech has achieved rapid growth as a result of supplying a variety of sensors to the heavy truck market, including SCR sensors for on-road and off-road vehicles to meet legislated emissions requirements. The synergies with MEAS in terms of engineering expertise and China-based manufacturing will allow MEAS to scale more aggressively and better serve its customers.
